Default Mud Flaps

I am sure that I'm not the only one who has problems with mud spraying up the side of my truck. As much as I love the 20" wheels, they sure make a mess... I've done some looking around, and it seems that Dodge/Mopar makes some form fitted mud flaps that integrate into the fenders. I'm wondering if anyone has used these, and if they help. The seem to be fairly small. I don't want to go out and get tractor trailer mud flaps, but I want something that will protect the paint on my shiney new truck too.

Thanks!

They are small, and you cant use them with most step rails either

I have the mopar mudflaps and the mopar stepbars on my QC. The mudflaps do an adequate job in deflecting water/mud from the side of the vehicle.

I have them as well. They seem to do a decent job, but they are smaller and sleek (which i like the look of.) Mine fit just barely with my side steps (truckchamp)

I have the molded Mopar ones on my sport, and the sides still get sprayed quite a bit. I'm going to look into getting some fender flares down the road. Dodge should have included fender flares on all models, IMO. The 20" tires on the sport are too wide w/o the flares.

Could you guys post up some pics of your trucks with the mudflaps for reference?

HA!!! I got fender flares on my trx4 and they don't do didly except for looks. I need to get some mud flaps too, but the moldeds dont fit with the flares. You would think they would make some for the trx's that would fit the flares and match the paint.

This should be a close up (small) photo of the mudflaps and part of the nerf bars from mopar. First attempt at attaching a photo.

Are those the Mopar version? They don't look too bad at all!
