Mud flaps, or whatever you call em

I've seen the post of buying the rear one's from Dodge, which I plan on getting, but what about the front, just trying to protect the paint job,,,, unless somebody has better ones other than the one's from Dodge,,, I'll go aftermarket but I don't want to drill any holes to put them on, front or back flaps.

Anybody have some they really like?

I'm running the DuraFlaps, link is in above post ^^^^ I really like them, best I've seen for perfect fit to the factory holes, drill-less is what they call them.

I have the stock Dodge front and rear mud flaps installed. Put them on to protect the paint on the rocker panels and also to protect my boat and boat trailer when towing. The front did a good job--the back could have done better. Still got some chips on the boat trailer, but none on the rear quarter of the truck.

I forgoet what miner were called when I bought them?

They are a heavy rubber, like 1/4" thick with a stainless Ram Logo bolted to the bottom portion.

They did require drilling and bolting them on, but they have been on the '06 since new and stood up well. Done a good job of keeping the stones down.

My truck runs gravel everyday of it's life, lots of days it will run 100 miles of gravel in a day.

Duraflaps are not cheap, but about the best coverage you can get without just getting dually flaps for all 4 corners.
Gone thru 2 winters in the Rockies with about 70mi/day driven on the highway and there's hardly any paint chips on the lower panels, like less than 10/year.

I like the DuraFlaps too, don't have any yet but will be ordering some soon.
They make them so they screw on using the factory inner fender screw locations, just put longer crews in and you're set.
This is Cd's truck, 14" wide with a 12" bolt pattern so they stick out a little for his flares, looks great I think (especially the truck color).
