I'd go the box route. It'd give you the space for the entire suspension travel.

Wrong Wrangler flare donor.
Gotta say, after thinking more, im not feeling the box flares. Standard flares are more my bag. Like this:
Hell yes!!!!!!! Finally successful in hotlinking!!!!!!!
Dusterbd,
Question is, how wide do you want the bottom of the flares to be?
Well, a splitter is in the plan. Along with a flat floor and other aero tricks to fine tune the car.....
So i guess the flares need to go the whole way to the bottom of the fender to mate with the splitter....
I have an idea. What about using sections of relatively thin metal mesh to form a base, then layering fiberglass on top of the mesh? The mesh would provide a support structure, it would involve way less metal fab, and each flare would be lighter than if it were made with solid metal.
Years ago, my friend would make flares by cutting the inner fender lip in sections, bending it outward, welding on brake tubing, and doing body work. Looked like wide stock flares. Don't know if you can make them wide enough for your application though.
Have you looked at JGRAHAM's build in the build threads? He's doing fender flares on his Ranger and I think it's pretty close to what you're going for.
OOP's I posted in the wrong Thread, Cut your's along the top of the flares you have ,Raise them up and weld them back on,like the Gremlin, that car of yours looks great!
Because of gameboyrmh, we know where we are going to go.

I actually have a set of of Wrangler Renegade flares in poor shape if anyone wants them.

Is it just me or do those look a lot like wheel tubs/55 gallon drums cut on an angle and welded on? Not that there is anything wrong with that.
