They are psi restyling part number 802-0200T

First rivet style flares I've seen. Almost to cheap and to good to be true type of thing!

They do look good. I can't find info or pictures on other Dakotas. Reading on other trucks say that they are hit and miss, some love them and others don't. Based on what I read, if you take your time installing them, then they fit well and hold up OK. Some say that they are cheap and will crack easily if things rub against them when off-roading, but those people also complained about the fit, so they might have put them on a little too quickly and they were not fit right.

Priced good too, if I still had my truck they would have been on my wish list.

I may try them. I'm just afraid they will swallow my tires. I have a 2.5 spacer in front and add a leaf in back with 31 in tires and stock rims

I don't know that I like this idea but I wanted your opinion. The flare is 3.75 in. off the fender. Would a 2 in wheel spacer make it look any better? Keep in mind I have stock rims with 31 in. tires.
