fender flares on a dually?

Hey ya'll. I had the chance to drive next to a new 450 today, and OMG I think the front end looks so dang good with the fenders flared out that way. I was wondering if there was anyone that knew of someone who had done that to the front of their dually. I was wanting to know how it would look.

I think the 05s and up 450/550s have them. What you guys think?

could you maybe just swap out the fenders of an 05 to ours? would we have to change anything else over if we did this?

Just get the 05-07 F450 or F550 front flairs and put them on your truck. They'll bolt right on.

The 05-09 450s and 550s have widetrac front suspensions thus the need for the flares, yours is going to have alot of overhang .

well, I am going with 35s. And I might do a 1/2"spacer on the front to bring the wheels out a bit further. Then it wont look so bad.
