Not sure of your year but here's one that mounts on the inside and I selected towing a 5th wheel in the options.

I wonder if one is any better than other? I can see where the hitch bracket would be in way on frame. I'm makin set of blocks for under leaf pack, 2.5"

hope so...Still need to tweak it some and get rid of that emblem they put on it.

Have to hook up the lights yet. Neighbor was helping but he couldn't play any longer.

Hi Gerry.......You are Fine Gerry, don't worry. I purchased them right after taking delivery of Jolly Green......I just pulled up some old photos. Duraflap...Made in Oregon. They give a FTE Discount or a Military discount....

These flaps are heavy. Solid as a rock. I am very pleased with them.

20X9 is way wider than I would want. The rears will be sticking out past the fenders, fronts likely would too. It already throws enough trash all over itself. I'd rather just keep the skinny tire dually look. Wide tires on a dually is to "bro" to me. And in all honest $ for $ there isn't much difference between the AF 19.5's and the Eagle 20's. AF 20's require adapters. AF also offers clearcoat which Eagle doesn't. Another point is that my truck is a driveway queen. The LT stuff dryrots much faster than the commercial tires I've seen.


My buddy has the AT3's on his 2011 dually and they are not doing very well. Approx 25k and they'll be junk by winter. First truck I've seen them on where I'd call them a failure. This truck runs empty most of the time with a 28' enclosed tag here and there, has a big 5th too but it might move once a year.

There is JUST enough room to sneak the washer and nut between the hitch side rail and frame. It's tight, but doable.

I put Firestone RydeRite bags on my 350 w,max tow. They go on the inside and have a bracket that fits to the frame and fasten to the top of the axle. There is also a ubolt that goes around the spring block. I have the factory fifth wheel prep and there were no problems.

Adding the Wide Track front fender flares might be another good option for minimizing the chips on the front of the dually fender. PLUS, they good great!

Ya its a 450 so it already has the big flares and large flaps. And Ya I agree they look gooood. With no race today and snow falling outside again, I found myself having a whiskey sitting in shop just admiring my big beauty
