Ford Super Duty Installation Instructions
FLARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Step 1: Painting (Optional)
(A) Bushwacker only approves installing the flares according to these written instructions with the hardware provided. WARNING: Failure to install according to these instructions will invalidate the warranty. This includes, but is not limited to, using alternative installation methods, hardware, or materials. DO NOT USE: Loctite, SuperGlue, or similar products on the hardware or the flares.
(B) It is recommended that painting be done prior to installation.
(C) Sand (optional) before application of paint.
(D) Clean outer surface with a high-grade degreaser. DO NOT USE LACQUER THINNER OR ENAMEL REDUCER AS A DEGREASER. Wipe outer surface thoroughly with a tack rag prior to painting.
(E) Paint flares using a high quality lacquer, enamel, or polyurethane automotive paint. Application of a primer coat is optional.
Step 2:
Preparing the Work Area (Front and Rear)
(A) Remove factory fender trim and mud flaps (when installed).
Step 3:
Edge Trim Installation (See Illustration #1)
(A) Peel two to three inches of red vinyl backing away from edge trim tape. Applying the adhesive side of the edge trim to the inner side of the flare, affix the edge trim to the top edge of the flare (the portion that comes in contact with the vehicle).
(B) Press edge trim into place along the top edge of the flare in one-foot increments, pulling red vinyl backing free as you continue to work your way around the top edge of the flare. Repeat steps 3A and 3B for remaining flares.
Step 4:
Cutting Front (See Illustration #2)
(A) Remove the 7/32” factory screws that fasten inner splash shield (fender liner) to the fender.
(B) Following the body line that is 2” from the wheel opening, mark a line from the top center of the fender to the front of the fender.
(C) Starting at the front of the fender, continue that arc onto the black plastic fender extension and the bumper ending at a point 4” away from the wheel opening.
(D) Measure from the bottom of the lower rocker panel up along the door seam 8 1/2” and mark that point with a grease pencil.
