    I have Rek Gens and Im not super impressed. I mean, the spacers are just pieces of fuel line... And becaue how they don't really suck up tight against the fender, I do get tire rub on the fenders in reverse, full-lock, in a bump. So, they are okay, but not sure they were worth the $100 price point.

    hey here you go. They flex but to be quite honest I’m still getting rocks/gravel pinging the truck. Better than nothing though.

    edit: I’ve got rubbing on the driver side so I need to trim the little tubes they give you.

    I removed mine when I installed bigger tires. The steps take some abuse from the front tires but nothing they can't handle.

    Mud flaps live up to their name on wet, gravel roads. Get the mud on your flaps and off your truck.

    Standard size. The fastening points on the
    flaps are slotted, so there is some flexibility in the mounting position 8AA3494D-DEAA-41CA-91E1-B4DA7480F35A.jpg

    I bought the Rekgens Black Friday. Hopefully they work with my lift/tires. I hate when trucks throw rocks everywhere.

    Went with the Rek Gen's. Running 285's and get the occasional rub. Clearance is mighty tight.

    Seems like a fair amount of space in there to hold mud snow and cause rustBBFF0DE0-9218-478D-B46C-5AC67FB94310.jpg

    One thing that was odd was that the instructions said to use the short spacer on the front and the long on the rear. But,The gap was big on the front and smaller on the back so I reversed them. Fit much better.
