Wider dually fenders

Wider dually fenders
I've searched the forums but can't find anything related.
I know they have some aftermarket wider dually fenders out there. I hear of 2" and 4 or 5".
Has anyone bought any or know of anything about them?
Where can a good set be bought, that is OEM style, not boxy like the earlier trucks?

Ok, I bought some from TAW Manufacturing from Houston, TX. 1 word comes to mind after getting them, fitting them, prepping them and having them on the truck for about 3 weeks, JUNK.
They cost me $900.00 for the pair. They aren't even close to stock appearing, there are -0- marks for them to be fitted on the truck. They appear to be made from something that is not 100% fiberglass, but more plastic feeling. You can almost see through them. Took us 2 days to get them fitted. MANY new holes in the bed had to be drilled so new bolts could be used to pull the fenders close to the bed. After a day of sanding and prep they got painted and mounted. 2 weeks later they are starting to take on a ripple effect on some areas, as well as some pin holes coming up causing the paint to lift.
I should have gone with the $1500.00 fenders from another manufacturer. I hear that the only issues with those is the pin holes. Those are made exactly like the stock ones. Chalk it up to being a guinea pig on these.
