I have gator backs front and rear. I put them on because my side steps were full of mud and snow the first time I took my truck to my cabin. I’ m not really worried about stones. I don’t care for my steps being cover with mud and snow all the time. I thought the steps on the tremor would collect less mud as they are mounted higher than the standard steps that come with the xlt premium package. But that’s not the case at all.

When I was looking I was down to a choice between Gatorback and Duraflap. I went with Gatorbacks because I really liked the overall look, thought the mounting system looked solid, and since I'm mostly highway I didn't need maximum coverage. After getting them mounted I think the Duraflap would be the better choice for coverage if running gravel roads. When my 450 is loaded the rear flaps are about the right length off the ground and they don't drag over curbs when unloaded backing into parking spots. Duraflap offers different lengths and widths and sent me emails with pictures of the different options mounted so I think their customer service would be good.

I have stock Ford flaps on my 350. However, when pulling our fiver up to Denver last week, we kept hearing a strange knocking sound. It was blowing hard out and seemed to be wind related. Nothing in the bed was causing it, so I pulled over to check things out. Both front Ford flaps had torn where the rubber meets the reinforcement near the inner clip, allowing them to flop up and hit the underside of the truck with wind gusts. I ended up removing both front flaps and will be replacing with something a bit more sturdy/higher quality.

I'm looking for some that aren't body mounted. I had Duraflaps in the rear, and after backing up to one to many curbs and frozen snowbanks, I lost one. Popped all the drill-less mounts free, and tore the one hard fastened point free (thankfully it's not noticeable). Then, awhile later, lost the other one...
I had RockTamers on the last truck, but as someone's picture above shows, they block the reverse sensors.
Thinking I may give these a try.. anyone have any experience?
