Crusher Flares

The Result Is A Crusher Flare Installation That Will w.stand Serious Hits From The Rocks. The .188 Wall Tubing And Inner Braces Yield A Lightweight Aluminum Flare That Is Stronger Than Any Other Aluminum Flare On The Market, And Even Stronger Than Steel Flares That Are Not Internally Braced. Not Sure Whether To Choose Steel Or Aluminum For Your Crusher Flares? Aluminum Is Lighter In Weight, So Might Be The Best Choice For Those Looking To Save Weight On Their Heavy JK's In Order To Improve Fuel Mileage And Gain An Advantage Off-Road. However, When Wheeling w. Aluminum Flares It Is Up To The Driver To Use More Care And Finesse, As The Aluminum Components Are Not Going To Be Able To w.stand The Same Direct Impacts That Steel Can. The Outer Tube On Our Aluminum Crusher Flares Is Beefy .188 in. Wall Thickness. Compared To Our Steel Crusher Flares Which Use .120 in. Wall Dom Steel Tubing. The Thicker Tube Wall Recoups Some Of The Strength Lost By Going To Aluminum, However The Steel Versions Will Still Be Stronger In A Direct Impact w. The Rocks. For Reference, A Steel JK Front Crusher Flare Weighs 24.2 LBS. (Not Including Hardware), While An Aluminum One Weighs Only 9.6 LBS. Which Is Best For You Will Depend On Your Particular Intended Use Of The Jeep, Driving Style And Other Factors.
