    I didn't find any info about these other than rokblokz website, but decided to give them a shot. Hopefully this will help others who are considering this kit. I am running about 2.5" of lift with 275/70r17 tires on 4.1" b.s. wheels.

    I chose the "regular length" over the short. They are packaged very well, with stainless steel hardware, washers, nylon spacers and steel brackets divided for the front and rear sets. Instructions are clear and include large pictures for each step. This was awesome. The quality is top notch IMO.

    The rear set is very straight forward. 3 screws with large washers, and a different size spacer for each screw to hold the flap flat against the flare. The mounting holes are slotted for adjustment. I pulled mine all the way out for maximum coverage.

    I will admit, the front flaps are not the prettiest when mounted. They sit outside the flare, with visible brackets and hardware. Clear vinyl is included to install on the flare to prevent paint damage from the tight fit of the flaps. I chose to paint the 4 offset brackets (2 per side) satin black so they blend in better. With the instructions, installation is simple and no modifications are necessary. A tab bends backwards and secures the inside of the flap to the bottom of the flare, with a longer screw and spacer to replace the factory screw.

    I apologize for the dark pictures. I can get better shots later if anyone cares.

    So far I am happy with my purchase. I want mudflaps for paint protection, and it looks like these will do great as long as they hold up. My stock front flaps were trimmed and cut up so much that they were barely hanging on, but still scraping the tires just before full lock.

    Nice. What material is the flap? Is it urethane like Rally Armor's?

    They call it a "proprietary polyurethane". It is very flexible but durable. They are cnc cut, very nice looking flaps IMO and a perfect fit.

    I've had a set of the regular ones since January right after I got my truck. It currently has no mudflaps and I'm unsure if I'll even install them lmao

    I stuck my head out the window while doing 70 on the interstate to work this morning and was surprised to see the flaps holding their straight shape and not folding or flapping :thumbsup:

    Thanks guys, I'm glad some others approve. I was not sure I liked the fronts but they have grown on me pretty quick. I am really happy with them.

    ^Yea front flaps are always a bit ugly no matter who makes them, but they are quite necessary. Does Rokblokz offer them in a longer length?

    I decided to add the included small "RB" decals available in different colors. I chose gray.

    I also choose grey for my stickers but chose not to use them :eek:

    I can attest to everything mentioned by the OP. These flaps are much better than stock

    I like 'em a lot. It's a win-win scenario when they look better AND work better than the stock non-flappy mud flaps.

    What is the cost on these and did they use factory hole or did you have to make new ones?

    They use the Factory holes where your screws are on your OEM flaps.

    They range from $50-$150

    My full set of regular size were $120

    ^this. Check their website for pricing.

    The hardware is high quality and the instructions are detailed well.

    This is good to hear! My biggest question for the Rokblokz is how the hold their shape. I had a set of the Universal Rally Armor flaps on my 2005 TRD Off Road and they did OK, all except for the right rear, which flexed back enough at highway speeds to melt and deform from the heat off my exhaust tip. After a week of commuting on the highway, the thing was trashed... I had to cut a chunk out to keep the plastic off my tip and the thing looked like a slice of Swiss cheese...

    They hold up to heat ok too?

    I think I might get a set of these at some point to replace the stocks...

    Been running them for almost a year. They hold up extremely well to high way speeds and off road bottoming out.

    The only issue i have is mud and gravel getting down in between the flap and the fender from the top where the bolts are but a garden hose blasts it right out

    Thinking about purchasing a set of these, just not sure if I want the short or regular versions. In Oregon our flaps need to extend 27" above the roadway. Think I can pull that off with the Rokblokz short version? Also running a 3" lift.
