Is your truck leveled? What size tires? I like the stance etc with the stock wheels.

I went Rekgen on the mudflaps and wish I would have done Rokblokz. The Rokblokz look amazing.

Gatorbacks are the best I have seen, Heavy duty, look good, are no drill into the body and can get ordered with numerous plates. And they come with a lifetime warranty from getting ripped off.
Ford uses them as OEM in dealers in Canada.

I ripped on backing into a snowbank, called my dealer and went in and got a replacement with no questions asked.

Lets see how they look on your truck. Also, is the metal bracket steel or aluminum? If its steel, even stainless steel, that will trigger damage on the aluminum panel due to galvanic corrosion

WeatherTech no drill mud flaps. So far I’m happy with them and the price is right.

There is no chance of galvanic action. The metal bracket is insulated by the rubber washers provided, and at no point touches anything metal on the truck.

I paid $400 for my Gatorbacks at my dealership. I installed them myself. You may be seeing an installed price rather than just the flaps.

And I would absolutely buy them again. Mine have a solid Minnesota Winter on them, and they look brand new. My old "07 had the Weathertech splash guards that worked well, but when I took them off, I was surprised at how much paint they destroyed underneath from the little bit of movement they had over 14 years. I figured I would try Gators this time, and so far so good. They are really high quality and super durable.
