    Anybody have a line on some good aftermarket mud flaps. The stock ones on my truck are not really wide enough and im getting some rock hits on my rear fender flares. I put on aftermarket wheels that are a tad wider than the stock setup.

    RokBlokz are nice. Front ones are a little quirky to install.

    If you need wider than stock the Rokblokz are probably ok. I just think they look hideous on stock tire width.

    I'm also thinking of going with these. Do you happen to have any pictures from behind your truck so that we can see how much they stick out?

    Whats the difference between these and the rockblokz??? These look bigger than stock - and the most important question are they more flexible than stock?? I bought stock flaps but not really digging how they look with my rig.

    That's what I have. Relatively inexpensive to replace if they get torn off and lost and they are flexible enough to bend 90 degrees back if you drag over an obstacle.

    I`m happy with my WeatherTech mudguards, $80 shipped to my door, no drilling holes, only takes 15 mins to put them on. There are 3 existing bolts in each fender to remove before installing and WeatherTech sends a 4th bolt for each mudguard, so you have 4 bolts holding them on, Nothing to it, easy install. WeatherTech has them for trucks with and without fender flares.

    OEM style running boards
    Picture in my profile shows results of running the stock mud guards. I have a set of the factory style running boards to protect against flying rocks (we live on a long gravel road). After coming home and stepping out of the truck I seen the mess and pulled the stock mud guards and installed a set of the Plasticolor 11x19. Those are much better protection, but I'm not sold on the looks. Will probably order Rokblokz as my choice from all I've seen.
    With the OEM mud guards and no running boards/sliders, the front of the rear fenders gets hammered pretty good. Another big problem that I caught in time was the fact the OEM guards protrude outside of the wheel well with a lip that makes them look molded to the vehicle. Where that and the paint meet, dirt gets in that "pocket" and in a short time will destroy the paint in that area. Then if you want to change mud guards, you'll end up with a worn section on each rear fender lip.

    The weathertech are good - I have them. But, the fronts rub on the inside edge at full lock with 265/70/17. Even with some trimming, they rub. I am going to use a heat gun to make an adjustment to the molded plastic.

    They did not rub with stick tire size.

    they have onces that are skinnier. I have stock wranglers and they do not go outside the width of the tire

    I finally pulled the weathertech flaps off. Tired of the rubbing on a 265/70/17.

    I guess I'll try the regular/narrow RokBlokz.

    I had plasticolor and the rubbed with 265/70/17 so i swapped them with OEM flaps and there is much less rubbing. Still slight rub under certain circumstances but I am happy with it. I may trim the flaps or just wait till i get my lift
