fender flares

I have been looking for a set of fender flares for my truck. I have 285's on my truck and I live up a 2.5 mile dirt road. which is muddy when wet. One good trip up the road and I have mud up over the mirrors.
It's starting to ruin my paint. Does anyone know of a site where I can find either a good set of fender flare OR a pair of mudflaps that extend out away from the truck about an inch or so??? Thanks:

Hey, I just checked out their site, They will work great.
Any Ideas on a wide mudflap? especially for the front??? All the ones I have seen don't look like they will stick out far enough to catch everything my tires throw??

I have the Dodge ones. They do not stick out like you are looking for though. You might be able to drill new holes in them and then they would stick out. Come to think of it, you could find a large mudflap that you could customize to fit on your new Bushwacker fender flares. That might look really cool!

mkubacak,
I might just do that. I think i wil have to wait until I put the flares on and then see what kind of coverage I still need.

I have to do something, My paint is getting tore up with rocks and salt etc...

Will the fender flares cause salt to eat away at the fender under it? My 2000 came with flares on it. I've worked in a auto body shop, and don't want to deal with any more rust (I've had enough to last a lifetime).

I guess it's a catch 22. I just have to do something about the mud on the side of the doors, windows, nerf bars and windshield. It looks like crap and the wife gets P.O.'d when she jumps out and gets dirt all over her

do the warn flares cover as much as the stockers...up the side of the truck? My stockers did not like the trail to our elk camp and decided to bail, but did leave a nice line in my paint

All I can say is that I live on a dirt road and the side of my truck is clean
