Thanks but right now fiberglass fenders is out of the questions right now.
And, the 100 were just going to be a temporary solution anyway. I want bushwacker pocket styles or a knockoff one. But, just don't have the money now.
And I was wondering if the 100 ones would be alright for the time being until I can afford good ones.

There is no drilling required, they come with clips that clip onto the inside of the fender. I decided to screw them to the inside of the fenders with stainless self tapping roofing screws.

Truck is still a work in progress:

Those were oneoffs if I remember correctly. GWU made them for fabcrap before they put them into production. They tweaked the mold a bit and blended them a bit better. I'm probably going to go with their glass when I get finished building my Ram.

Thanks, but I need them to stick out farther. The one's from ebay I posted were from the same seller though. But, $290.

For what it's worth, I am running the same size tire that you have.

I just found my receipt on the flares I purchased. I bought them from Xtreme Autosport in New York 716-952-9537. They are a distributor for jspamerica.com which is the manufacturer of the flares I bought.

I'll look that up tomorrow. I don't know about your's but my tires stick out a little less then 3" The rims im running are 16x8 4.5" backspace and 0mm offest. That's probably the reason those flares work for you and not for me.
