Which mudflaps are they? There are 2 or 3 different ones, the cheap
ones are $12/pair.

$184.45 for installation seems a bit steep. The frame should have been
drilled for the running boards from the factory (mine is), so it should
be just a quick bolt-on. Mudflaps should are about 30 minutes to
install.

The list on my Mopar bedliner (CC) was $375 according to the dealer (got
it thrown in for about half price when I bought). The other parts I
really don't know about the prices on as I threw my Mopar accessories
catalog away a few weeks go, but $660 for the running boards sounds
about right. Remember you're paying full list price because it's from
the dealer and you're getting a hefty upcharge because they're Mopar
accessories. Go aftermarket and you'd pay at most 1/2 that for the same
parts.
