They were supposed to be factory - ordered em from the Mopar parts
counter ($245 + tax - yeah, probably overpriced). Looks like they are
manufactured for Dodge by a third party. Can't find the sheet that came
with them - soon as I do, I'll let you know the manufacturer's name.
Other than a slight mtg hole alignment problem witch was easily
corrected, the fit and look great. Now my 4x2 looks just like the R/T in
Sport Truck magazine (with the exception of the wheels and the
lettering) - that 5.9L engine and handling mods would be nice though...
