Yup, from Dodge. I would recommend putting something along the paint where the overlap to keep them from mucking up the paint incase you ever want different ones.
I used 3/4 inch black pinstriping. Works well. keeps the flaps off the paint.

I have huskys. They fit fine with my step bars, and function is wonderful.

all these pics were taken at the same time after getting home from the mountains driving on logging trails most of the time. note how clean the rockers are.

That's disappointing. I hoped the flares would help reduce the splashing on the sides of the truck. The flaps help a bit, but not enough.

Yeah, I think once I find some motivation, I'm going to get those huskys in Inbred's post. I'll take my flares off and weld them on with a plastic welder we have at work. Just dont feel like getting the matching TRX4 gray paint and painting them right now, but definatly before the salt trucks come out.

Dodge sells 2 versions, the first is the small molded type that only fit the 2009. They have a heavy duty version that looks more like a conventional rubber mud guard.

I just purchased an 09 SLT Crew Cab Saturday and noticed the first day how much junk gets thrown into the body. Took a look at the molded ones yesterday and they seemed too small. Planning on picking up the heavy duty ones today.

the molded flaps work wonders compared to nothing, we picked up our truck and got home with oil all over the side, must have ran over some on the road and it spread all down the side is circular messy pattern. Truck got mudlflaps installed 2 days later.

Didn't take any pictures yet, but the heavy duty flaps are a nice thick flat rubber mudflap. Not the most stylish thing, but they do their job - which is what I was looking for.

You have to remove the little plastic rockguard from the trailing edge of each wheelwell, and drill a total of 10 holes to mount them. (10 holes total for all 4 flaps)
