I have a 2025 Ranger XLT in Desert Sand. I'm planning to use the new Fox coil overs to level it and adding +25 offset black wheels with 285/70/17 Wildpeaks.
I want to also add fender flares but cant decide if I want to have them painted body color or shadow black. I've seen desert sand fender flares and it seems like to much beige but I'm thinking shadow black might be too drastic as well.
Anyone have pics of what they've done for the Desert Sand color?

No pictures, but if it was my truck I’d go with the black. It’ll give a nice offset. I think otherwise it will just be too much tan. YMMV.

I originally thought matching flairs would look nice. But after seeing them matched with one of the light colors (can't remember which color) I thought the black looked much better!!

Black should look good if there isn't too much chrome on the truck.

Painted body color is going to make it look like a wife body kit.

might be a cool look
