Duraflap Help Needed.........

Duraflap Help Needed.........
So I ordered Ford molded flaps for my 2015 F350 SRW, and when I laid them in place and stepped back, they just look totally ridiculous. They don't even cover the whole outside of the tire (about 1.5" gap). I have the 20" wheels and these little stubby & narrow flaps just look plain stupid, never mind that rocks will still get past them.
That is not what I expected and they will be going back to Ford.
I looked at the other flap thread and see the Duraflap straight drop rubber style looks really good. Problem is that I need to know just what size to order for my truck and if those who have them have the no drill ones. I don't want to drill any holes in my $70K truck. Also what is the drop length on your flaps (9" or 11" front & 12" or 14" rear)?
Pics would be great too.
Or do I get the Ford Heavy duty ones which are a straight drop style like the Duraflaps (but cost $70 less)?

You might want to consider these..
Weathertech Drill free - installation in roughly 30 minutes for all 4
I like the way they fit - are pretty heavy material so they should stand up for a long time to a lot of abuse..
Apologize for the dirty truck in the pictures, but this is Minnesota in December...

Since posting this thread earlier, I found dimensions for the Heavy Duty Ford flaps (12" wide x 21.5" tall) and then measured the molded Ford ones I have. Found that the OEM molded ones are only 10.5" wide x 16" high. Too bad the standard tires are 12" wide and the height is a joke when mounted (less than half the tire is covered)
So let me get this straight Ford, you can make a HD set the right size, but the standard molded ones (ones you get when checking the option box when ordering truck) would better fit a freakin' Taurus? Absolutely amazing. The local parts dept had better not give me a hard time returning them.

On another truck I had the left rear mudflap actually melt to the tailpipe as it sailed up against the pipe while I was dragging a trailer 500 miles...
The way I figure it - if they sail or flap, they will eventually shake something loose or just generally look stupid goingdown the road.
I think you can go to the Weathertech.com site and find better pictures..

I have the long Duraflap on my 2015, I took them off the 2012 when I sold it.
I chose the longer ones to better protect my paint and my trailers. I have been very happy with them and have found the long ones clear any parking lot bump stops when I back in.
I can try to get some pictures this weekend and get them posted, but found good pictures when I was looking on the Duraflap website and on here.
I highly reccomend them!!!!
Good people to deal with and they give an FTE 10% discount if mentioned.
