Those with REAR inner fenders.

My truck came with them new, but my brother removed them when they installed the air bags. Just need to know if they go inside or outside of the body lip.
If inside, I assume they are held on with plastic rivets?
If outside, screws?
Anybody got pics?

I do not remember which side they go but they are mounted with plastic rivets. You have to back them up on the outside and tap them with a small hammer on the back to seat the center post. The dealership is the only place I have ever seen them.

They have plastic rivets and ride on the inside of the bend at the fenderwell. Fastenal or a fastener type specialty shop should have them for a lot less than the dealers. Try www.clipsandfasteners.com they have a bunch of the OEM stuff. Luck

I will probably go back with the bolts as well. I am on the hunt for a replacemant drivers side liner. Current one has been cut for the bags and B&W ball release. I'm not happy with the cuts I made for clearance.

I mounted mine on the outside to try to protect the paint a bit more. Use speednuts on the bolt holes to mount the inner fender, or you can use those plastic 'trees' used for trim. Their advantage is they dont seize or rot.
