Hi All,
If you have the rough country "sport" fender flares post your pictures please :) I searched for a while but did not find these specfically.

I am looking for something that covers just a little more than the OEM flares, but not as big as the Bushwacker pocket flares. I think this might be just in between.

Yeah If I didn't already have OEM, these are :cool:
if I was going to put mudders on the truck like I used to when I was a lot younger these would be going on it.
my limited will come with stock, and it will cover anything I might upgrade to I am pretty sure. best looking ones, I have seen though.

Those SF1's ARE nice. But coming from the pocket flares already I'm looking for something a little more low key that still covers the 37s.. I guess I might be the first to do these "sport flares" then.. I'll post back pictures, I pulled the trigger.

I'm actually digging those. Post back with pictures! Did you get them color matched or flat black?

Color matched. my truck is Billet Silver Metallic.
How much did they charge you for color match? I was interested in the bushwacker ones but like you would want to take them to get color matched

They come color matched from rough country for $550. Fender Flares | Sport | Ram 1500 2WD/4WD (2019-2024)

Bushwacker also has color matched options, but they're a little more pricey.

I have the bushwacker currently and they lasted about 4 years, paint/clear is starting to peel in some areas.

Thanks for the info! I didn’t realize bushwacker offered the paint match, that makes like a lot easier than trying to find somewhere reputable to do it. My tires like a little bit so I still may get them although it pokes less than I thought they would

These came today, I installed them right away. I removed the bushwacker pocket flares I had, these cover about 1/4" less of the tire and about 2 inches less of the fender. They look much more tame than the bushwacker pocket flares, which is more the look I am going for now. Keep in mind I have 37x12.5R22 -44 offset wheels. Next set of wheels will be either 0 or -18.

My only gripe with these was the rubber weather seal that came with them was cut EXACT length. I used a little extra on the fronts not knowing I didn't need to wrap around the bottom, and sure enough I was missing that much when I got to the rears.

The rubber seals against the truck fender nice and tight, on the bushwacker there was a little bit of a gap in some areas, I had put clear paint protection film underneath to prevent scratches, but it still got through in some areas, removing the PPF was a PAIN, so I didn't do it again this time, figure in 4-5 years if I swap them out again I'll just have the flares and fender painted.

Some before shots, some during, and some after.

those look a ton better than the bushwacker flares. really nice clean lines go with the truck nicely.
What do you like about these vs the bushwhacker? I was looking at the bushwhacked but interested in your experience w them I haven’t seen the bushwhacker yet

I don't like the look of the Bushwackers that have all the indentations around them for the bolts. to me those make the flare look chopped up. the ones above have a nice round transition that blends into the fender of the truck much better. in my opinion anyway. there is another company that makes some very similar to these that are a little sportier but clean, I can't think of the brand name off hand SF1 maybe . here is a picture of another members truck with them . 1713289580960.png

Those are also rough country. Rough Country SF1 flares, I got the Rough Country Sport Flares. I had the Buschwacker before, but they were too aggressive looking.. see pic. 20210325_104658.jpg

I’m gonna have to try and find some in person to check them out, I’m so clueless I can’t see much difference. I do like these though also the SF1
