I am going to get these from bushwacker. I just need to dive in a order them. They will realy help keep the truck cleaner and as soon as I get some33's it will look alot better.
I am also getting a set of the pocket style when I decide on whether or not to body lift the truck, or trim the fender/bumper. The 3" leveling kit clears 35" tires only if they are 12.50 or narrower. My 35x13.50's don't clear very well... anyway, the pocket style is definitely the way I'm going.

Well they arrived today. Mopar. I would post before and after pictures, however I did not turn the picture quality down on the camera so the before files are to big to post. The install was a little more work than I thought, but it went rather quick. Only a few holes to drill. I love the look that the fender flares add. I can't wait for my N-fab 6 step black wheel-to-wheel nerf bars to arrive that should really add to the look.

TNT,
Those look great. What holes did you have to drill? Where did you find the MOPARs at that price? I haven't seen them for less than $320 +shipping.

Ebay of course! It was 289.29 shipped to my door in three 3 days. The install involved first taking the hemi emblem off the front which I did days earlier(fishing line works the best). I just bought some adhesive at the auto parts store and glued the emblem back on under the RAM 1500 (I think it looks the best there). The instructions are very clear only a few things that could have been worded better or thought to put in. The drilling is needed because if you look there is really no holes existing or at least not enough to get a good strong fit. If you read first then follow the directions there should be little issues. This install contains no stick on fender flares like I have seen advertised by other company. I am glad I went this road.

I would paint to match, since you have a 2 tone truck.

I think it might look best with it color matched with the silver that runs along the bottom of your doors. Tough one.
