Super happy with Rokblokz. I avoid drilling holes in my vehicles or having paint contact (ie. rub/wear) at all costs. Initally I was going to go with the Gatorbacks, but just couldn't get past that big nasty **** metal bracket showing inside the wheel well. Lots of guys love them, but just wasn't for me. I like clean, subtle mods.
No Drill mounting, and I modified them to sit more inboard, not go so tall up into the front wheel well, as well as have ZERO paint contact (easy to do). Details and pics at link. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ll-liners.html
You're not overthinking, you're just smart. I thought about ripping the dually fender off if I snagged a flap, so I fabbed brackets that mount to the truck frame. My flaps are completely independent of the body, front and rear.
I've already ripped the front flap off backing up while offroading. Gatorback customer service is excellent, I explained it was my fault and they still sent me a new flap, postage covered as well.
That is good thinking.
The 23 looks different but that is an option. Thanks.

Depends on your metal fab skills, but the chassis should be exactly the same. I took 5/8" spring steel semi flap hangers, and welded them to the rear overload bracket. On the front, I made two clamps out of 1/2" plate that clamp around the frame box. I did NOT want to drill or weld on the frame.

Impressive. My skill sucking and crap tools for metal projects kills me to be able to do that.
Happy with the OEM flaps that came on my truck except they are not long enough. Lot of stones make it past them. Instead of replacing new flap, I took some stainless I had and extended them 5”. Not sure if I am going to leave the stainless rivets plain or paint them black.

That is a clean install. I like the rivets, paint could chip off one and not another and then look off?

Anyone been running the Luverne flaps that you see available on Amazon? I ran Duraflaps on my 2022 and see that they are both very simular between the two brands.
