I figured I would throw this out to the forum. I'm debating on getting flaps for my 2018 Ram 1500 black out edition. I tried finding pics online to see the truck with them on but have not had any luck. The cost for OEM is $116 through my dealer plus the pain in the ass of taking off my wheels to do this lol. So just wondering if you guys or gals think its worth it?

Any input would be appreciated :)

they will definitely help but I don't think they will stop everything. I would look on ebay, and craigslist and see if you can find a set of them used.

My Husky mud flaps (price matched by Nick@GotExhaust) arrived yesterday. I have to drive on gravel roads so it's definitely worth it to me. I would think they would help keep your dark truck cleaner too.

Looks better without them in my opinion, but they keep the paint in better shape and cleaner longer so. Worth it in my opinion. I should have put them on my old truck. Would have saved me a lot of work fixing chips and paint worn off the flares and front edge of the box.

Looks better without. Easy to kick ice/slush off the flaps vs letting it build up on the running board. Saves the paint a bit. I'll probably put them back on.

I got my Husky Mud Guards for a great deal of like 50 bucks for all 4. I think they have paid for them self. I like the look of them, couldnt see my truck without them. Oh and those install without taking anything off the truck.

Not to hijack this thread, but I was hesitant going 2.8 in the front and raising the rear with stock size tires till I saw your pic! I don't want 35's. I've got about 10k miles left on the factory rubber. I'm going to buy the 5100's for the front, spacer for the rear, and stock size Falken AT3/s. I prefer a little forward rake like yours. I'm really digging this stance!

Thanks. My eventual stance will have 35s on it, but I like the lift rake on it now.

I've got the weather Tec ones on mine, fit real good and simple to put on, maybe 15/20 minutes for the set. I don't have fender flares so if you do you'd have to check fitment. I know there was several questions as far as running boards/ no running boards, flares/ no flares. I have no complaints with mine, they look like they're supposed to be there.

I have the weather techs on my ram. Not my favorite look for on a lifted truck but I’m all for keeping my paint nice.

I really need to get a set. A muddy driveway keeps my running boards caked in ****.

I also went with the Weathertech flaps - no drill. I do think the trucks look way better without mudflaps, but I also think they look worse with stone chips. So cause I want my paint to stay as good as I can get it, it was mudflaps for me. I liked Weathertech because they are no drill and not too big, kinda don't even notice them now.

NO Need to remove the wheels to install ! Just turn the wheels so you can use your screw driver to tighten the screws !
