One of the accessories that seem to be on just about every Jeep you see is fender flares. But why are they so prevalent, and are they really worth it? For Jeepers that spend time off-road, they can be very useful and can reduce unintended wear and tear. And when the right fit is a set from Road Armor, find them at 4WD.

Does My Jeep Need Fender Flares?
The final word on whether your Jeep needs fender flares is going to depend on a few factors. The first is going to be your location and the local laws regarding vehicle equipment or safety, another is the size of the wheels & tires you're running. Many jurisdictions do not allow vehicles to have tires that extend outwards further than the body, and fender flares are one of the ways that people can ensure that they are in compliance, since the flares count as part of the vehicle body, allowing drivers to have a wider wheelbase or run wider tires.

Are There Benefits To Fender Flares?
If you are off-road a lot or travel rougher roads that have gravel or other debris, they are an important exterior part that can add considerable protection to your Jeep's body. A good set of Road Armor fenders, like the Road Armor Stealth fender flares, will help block rocks and other debris from hitting the sides of your Jeep when running oversized tires. This is even more beneficial on rougher trails where you may air down and provide more traction area on your tires, resulting in more debris kicked up.

What To Look For In Jeep Fenders
If you're thinking of picking up some fender flares, first and most importantly, be sure you match the fitment to your Jeep. There are so many body styles that even a small error can mean your flares won't fit at all. They should be easy to install as well, with most Road Armor Jeep fenders being relatively simple bolt-on installations with no cutting or drilling.
