duraflap, hands down. There may even be a discount if you mention this site. I installed them on my 05, and they are by FAR the best looking and functional ones i have seen. Plus, Dennisis extremely helpful, friendly and more than willing to help you if you end up with some kind of problem with them.

Thanks to all. Box Car hits it on the head though . The factory fender flairs(flares) are a bit diff.. They dramaticlly alter the shape of the wheel openning. The edge of opening with out the flare rolls in pritty quik after style line, mine have a real slow roll to em. with no style line after opening. But at any rate , Thanks for the leads . Hoping for no drill units for-sure , but I used frame mount hangers for the rears on my 83 srw and with real alteration to the flaps ,was able to mount duelly (drw) diamond plate accented ,tall wide rubber. May have been a chuckle for some but offered real big protection . Best wishes

Thanks to Black Hat , I went to summ racing site and pulled up the husky units .They are the molded look I'm after. Cant tell from that sites pics but I'd like to lengthen what I saw. Maybe trim a rubber set to attatch to the lower portion. I'll surf the producers site or others for a better look. The first I've seen that stated for factory flares only. Sweet..

Hula skirts type mud flaps?
Hey guys,
Thanks for the info on the mud flaps, which I plan to add to my new 250 SD. I am also looking for the Hula skirt type and can't seem to find any info on them, the UPS 18whlrs have them on the wheel openings.
Any idea were I can find the Hula skirt type, What are they called? I have to put something on the back to protect the new DF TH.
Thanks,

After reading all the post yesterday I called Duraflap and ordered a set for my 04 350 dually. Dennis was very helpful and they are on the way. They look really good in the photos on their website. Hope they protect my boat and trailer!

I too have been looking for some mud flaps. I have fender flars that were ordered and installed from my dealership, but they are not like the other flares I have seen on trucks around here. They are a lot bigger, and very rounded, they almost look like Bushwhackers to me (see gallery to get an idea). Is duraflap the way to go with these as well, or is there another option. Thanks for the input!

You are up against a whole new critter with the Bushwhacker fender flares...unfortunately. You might end up doing a bit of pay & pray in order to get a set of mud flaps that will work. Pretty much guaranteed, unless Bushwhacker makes a set specifically for use with those flares, that you will not be able to find a molded flap.

Thanks!

Dennis, @ Duraflap has been very helpfull. I finally placed an order today. I,m worried about getting my set to long thought. Off hand does anyone know the stock suspension trav. for a 04 F350 4x4 Crew. My order was placed for units with a 13" drop and this may not allow for full compression in the event? 6-7" air gap? Yikes, this I should have looked at beforehand.

I did the tape measure in hand trick and came up with around 4" frnt and 5.5 rear travel. So given the rigid nature of the flap material, I'll forgo stump climbing and curb jumping for the forseable future.
Glad to see Dennis Joined, Big welcomes.
