The lower front corners of my bed are chipping pretty good since I've added AT tires. I don't live on a dirt road but might as well with all the sand/salt they put down up here in NH.

I've seen plastic corner protectors on other trucks, but none for Ram. What do you guys use to protect your truck? Some clear shielding? Rhinoline the body?

Also the wheel wells/genders are taking it too. Are the fender flares worth it or do they rub paint off/trap salt and moisture? Thanks in advance, here a some pics .

Wow man, sorry to see that. I live in Michigan and we get a lot of salt/sand but so far I don't have any rust outside of a few stone chips but what I do is periodically use a prime/paint applicators and touch up those spots before they spread. If I were keeping that truck for the long haul I might look into getting strip of line x along the bottom of your truck.

Get some fenderflares. Most guys put a strip of clear 3m tape where the rubber contacts the body and it seems to help. The Mopar OEM flares use 3m tape that presses against the body.
