I bought these last year but never installed them. Last year I also removed my factory fender flares to check for corrosion under them. I found it on the left rear fender but that's for my next new thread. So these are the model for Super Dutys WITHOUT the factory fender flares. Once I'm done with doing the body in Monstaliner, I will decide if the flares will be put back on or not -- if so, I'll have to buy the version for installation with the factory fender flares installed.
Unless someone wants a bigger and more big truck style mud flap like the Dura Flaps, then these won't be for you... But if you want to protect the rockers and underneath of your truck in the rear wheel wells, then these no drill mudflaps may be for you. Also, these non- drill mudflaps are advantageous for rust belt guys like me.
This is the front left... That's Mobil 1 synthetic grease that I slimed on the body and the mud flap to protect the wheel well as I don't have the Monstaliner on yet... Once that's applied then I won't need the grease... I am OVERKILL... But you have to be when you live in the rust belt and drive your truck in the winter.
They use the stock 5.5mm head factory screws to fasten to the body. They provide a stainless steel screw and stainless flanged nut for the bottom. There's a hole already there in the fender.
The rear mudflap... That's Green Grease, which I didn't have when I mounted the fronts first, between the body and mudflaps. That Green Grease is some tenacious and tacky grease.
Good schitt...
Provided stainless hardware.
The bottom screw all gooped up... with Fluid Film.
The other side rear flap.

Man, the truck looks great as always Troy... but all I'm trying to do is to prevent corrosion between the body and flaps until I do the Monstaliner... there was a lot of road rash from stones on the rockers and the lower bed behind the rear wheels. I did the driver's side last year but didn't get the passenger side except for the fender above the exhaust and the few spots on the rear outside fender line. Still have to get the complete pass side next year.
Anyways, knowing what i know now, I would have had Monstaliner on the body when the truck was new which would have protected the body and I wouldn't have to prep and paint with Chassis saver.
Next year, I plan on removing the rear wheels and getting underneath the well there and the body, paint with Chassis saver if need be, as there are a few spots, then prep by sanding first and then applying the Monstaliner inside and along the body lines.
I just wanted to install mudflaps to see how they do with the snow and if they keep some out of the wheel wells... we shall see. She's getting oiled in early November at Carwell Products again.

You're a wise man to do what you got to do to make your truck last. Have you ever considered having a clear wrap installed on the paint in the areas you're trying to protect?
I never greased them on mine but they were a little tight with the chrome strip I added outlining the fender cut out.
Man Ed, grease is for overkill guys like me in the rust belt... I'm full of crazy ideas and think out of the box. You being in the southwest... I'd say it's not even a thought for a guy like you...

If it was brand new and rust didn't start, maybe... but the problem being is that film wouldn't stick down to where the body line goes vertical and it's not really "even" or level down low... believe me, I've been on the ground looking at it often. It would be real easy for the salt to get under the film from the inside of the body down low where I just described.
Last year I did the silver Chassis Saver first, which contains more aluminum, then the satin black on the driver's side... that's some crazy paint Troy. If it has seasoned steel to stick to with rust present just make sure to knock off the loose stuff . To me, covering the properly prepped rust and solid paint in that area, with the Chassis saver paint, then sanding that and covering with the epoxy Monstaliner is the way to go. On the outside and the inside... Next year, I'm popping off the wheels, getting her *** off the ground on stands, sitting underneath to do my thing with my headlamp on...
I refuse to let Buffalo winters rot my truck away... they are too damn expensive to replace and who the hell wants another expensive payment... not me...
I've got another thread coming on what I just did and my brainstorm idea for the bed... stay tuned.
