I bought the molded Mopar mud guards from the local dealer. I think I paid $25 for both front and rear. Hate to say it (because I bought them from the dealer), but the price was right, and I'm happy with them so far.

They look nice, but before you put them on, I highly recommend some 3-M tape, as they may rub paint of at points of contact. If you drive gravel or have sand on roads, I personally do not recommend them, as they do not fully protect your rear fenders.

I bought front & rear flaps from the Dodge dealership. They have the RAM logo on them. The rear flaps are slightly bigger than the front flaps. I'm happy with them. I did upgrade to stainless steel fasteners in place of the plastic fasteners. Think I paid $78 for all four flaps.
I also have a gravel guard (NK) that fits on the hitch and hangs below the rear bumper. It has two 24"X24" flaps. This is to protect my TT.

I put clear body tape under mine. you can get it from Cabela's for 20.00 a roll.
It is dead clear and you can trim it how you want AND it protects the flaps from rubbing your paint. I have the factory flaps and they do about a 75% job, but at least they look right proportionally with the truck. No hanging shower curtains on my truck please........

Thanks for the info guys. One of the members has a set he took of his truck, so i'll try them. I'm unfamiliar how they fasten. What are the plastic/stailess things some of you are talking about?

When you see the plastic molybolts, it will be obvious how you can upgrade them to small SS bolts and washers. Also, anytime you drill through the sheetmetal, it's a good idea to prime/paint the exposed metal to prevent rust.

I guess I'll be the first to say it, You may not like them in the long term. For the looks of them, not a bad looking flap. Functional, Maybe for someone that never drives in snow, gravel roads and doesn't keep their truck for any length of time. Both Dad and I had them install them on our trucks when new. Gravel roads and winter conditions take their toll on them. A good set of rubber composite guards are the way to go. They suit the truck a little better IMO

I ran across a guy that had to have his fenderwell openings repainted because of the molded flaps grinding-off the paint. He "highly recommended" that I not use molded flaps.
The clear tape idea makes good sense.
