I purchased the Mopar molded mudflaps from the dealer for about $39 a pair
and they look real nice. Pretty much conform right with the truck lines
(that is when you stand back and look). I do not have the flares, but they
sell them for both. The only thing is you have to drill for them also and I
don't think they line up like they should. I still ended up with a few small
gaps and the front and rear are the same part#, yet they don't fit the body
the same! Also with the 255/65 15 tires you still get spray on the truck,
just not quite as much! John.

When I order my hawk pads I got a set of the Husky
liners Mud Flaps. I was tried of my truck getting
dirty so quick and U had gotten some chips already
from the never ending road work around here. I
installed the fronts with no problems. I think they
are a nice quality product and are straight forward to
install. I just do not like the look. I think they
look cheap and a added on. The front ones had little
notches that made them easy to line up and kind of fit
with the fender flare. Then you use self tapping
screws and drill into the flare. The back ones suck.
They are just a simple flat mud flap. There is nothing
to line it up with you have to eye ball it. I used a
tape measure to make sure that they were level then
stepped back to eyeball it. It was a real pain I beat
it took an hour of messing around to make sure that
they both looked the same way. They should have put
those notches in the back ones just so they would line
up like the front ones did. I was unhappy with them
but they are on and they do not look that bad. I would
like to have a set that installed behind the flare and
molded to the side and was a extension of the flare.
