Default Mud flaps?

Did a search on the forum but couldn't bring up any (I think it searches everything...which includes people's signatures and I've seen some where people put their accessories in their sig). Any suggestions on a decent one that doesn't involve drilling holes? My truck is a 2008. I've seen one brand but I forgot the name. Price being lowest would be optimal, don't need anything fancy and I'm poor too so that doesn't help

When I bought my 2013 the dealer did a great job detailing and preping the tires! Look great. Sadly there was so much crap on the paint from the stuff they put on my tires I went back a few days later and bought the form fitted mudflaps from Ford. No hole drilling. Used all original holes.

Bet you could do the same.

If you don't mind me asking how much did that run you? Also would they still do service work on a 2008? Might be a dumb question but I guess I never really thought about it whether they would still do work/order parts on older trucks, considering mine is 5 years old

WeatherTech and Husky liner also make top-notch molded flaps. IMHO, the weathtechs fit a little better.

I just installed WeatherTech mud flaps on my Ford and the fit is perfect. No holes have to be drilled.

That's the one! I couldn't remember the name but I looked it up and that was the one. Is it really just a matter of lining it up and screwing it on? Wonder if me rolling down the road and them falling off eventually is a future issue

I have the DuraFlap drill-less mud flaps. They are a full size mud flap so they protect my boat more than the splash guards used to. You can get them with or without the mirror finish stainless steel weights, so the cost is up to you.

My last set on WeatherTech mud flaps went 45000 miles on my 09 Lariat and they never moved even driving through snow and slush on the roads. The system they use to secure the flaps is very well thought out. You do help secure them with nut and bolts that you use in the holes that a plastic rivet was that you easily remove. On the WeatherTech website they have good videos showing how all this works.
