I had local truck shop install 4 Husky molded flaps for $80.00. the fit around and below the factory painted fronts and have standard large molded rears.. They could be painted but I preferred the blend with the tires.
Took some pics!

No night runner, they come black as in the dark grey that is the color of the side view mirrors. I didnt paint mine because I liked them black. For your setup you would want them painted though.

jabo2lhs , nice truck . those are nice husky mud guards , was wondering what they looked like, thanks for the pics. i like how they add to the front ones. they look like they would really protect your truck and help keep it clean. i see you have the 275/60/17, what kind of goodyears are they ? how are they holding up ? and do you like them ?

Thanks I just got the truck in March. I went in to the truck shop for rear mud flaps and the guy said "Don't you want the fronts too?"

I said it had factory fronts and he just laughed and show me these.

Yea I think the will do a great job. I didn't want to color match them. I think they just blend into the tires this way and it's easier to scrub the road crap off.

The tires are
Goodyear Eagle RS-A
(High Performance All-Season)

They are crap! Only 10K on them and they look like maybe in another 10K they will be gone. They don't stick at all. You would think that a tire that wears out in 20K should be soft enough to stick to the road. The only good thing is they are quiet and ride smooth.

I'll probably switch to these when I need new ones

I have those Michelins on my ford escape with 18000 miles on them and they look brand new when cleaned up. I love them, Great in wet and snow. Costco had a great price on them, and often has rebates.
