like 'em ??

Just picked up my new beauty yesterday and forgot to ask my dealer about inner wheel liners so I'll just put it out there for comment. I trust your opinions a whole lot more than the dealer anyway. Are they worth the time and money and what are the pros and cons.

I like mine. They were a snap to put on, and keep a lot of gunk from collecting on the underside of the body. If there is a downside, I don't know what it is (other than the fact that DC doesn't include them as original equipment).

Piece of cake to install. I would suggest that if you are going to put mud-flaps on, you do it after you do the wheel liners. I like my liners, they give the rear a cleaner look.

Yes, the rear liners are very easy to install andIf you are going to install mud flaps do it at that time
The only down side was when they went to istall my SuperGlide 5th wheel hitch, they had to remove them and then reinstall them in order to get to the frame.

gonna go get 'em

after 3 yea's and no nay's....I'm going to Dodge and get them.
was kinda suprised they didn't come standard with the truck because my last 2 Ford's had 'em. Last Dodge I owned was in '78 and back then, it was a bare-bones rig with a bench seat and a 4 speed, with the worst highway ride in the world. This truck looks, feels and smells a whole lot better 25 years later.

For those of you that are talking about those half liners installed in the rear, that's NOt what we are talking about. You have to pull those out and replace tham with full liners in the rear. As far as I know all of them come with front liners, unlike the FERD's

What's the average price for a set of four. My dealer wants $875.00 for chrome running boards. The same board sell on ebay for 185.00. $700.00 difference seems abit much!!!! I would like to know what the average price is before I ask my dealer.

Mine had front liners from the factory. The dealer slip lists 89.00, but charged me $80 for the rears. I assume DC makes them...

I got mine the same day I picked up the truck and installed them that evening. They do install easily, but only if you get the right one in the right wheel well and the left, the left.

Without them, basically the entire underside of the bed is open to the crap thrown off by the wheels. Get 'em.
