But rather than having a straight side, the edge of the flare tapers inward toward the front of the Jeep, in a line parallel to the tapered edge of the hood.
But the wheel opening on the XCs is 3 higher than standard DeFenders, providing Massive Tire Clearance with minimal lift! In this manner it tapers from 3 at the back, to about the same width as our Zero Flare at the front, providing the same great clearance for articulating tires and tight trails that our Zero Flare provides. First, it provides the same splash protection of our regular 3 flare, keeping mud and debris from splashing up onto the side of the Jeep. The DeFender XCs provide eXtreme Clearance! Like our standard DeFenders the XCs are constructed entirely of CNC laser cut, brake-formed 3/16 plate steel for strength and style that old school tube fenders just can't match. Poison Spyders DeFender XCs provide eXtreme Clearance for big tires without having to install a tall lift, maintaining a Low Center of Gravity (LCOG) and the performance benefits that come along with it.
