rear wheel liner review

Picked up and installed the rear wheel liner kit today. PRos: Installation was easy 15 minute job a few plastic rivet and a couple of screws. Cons: doesn't cover as much as I would like it to have. I would have like it to come down further inside the wheel well. Right now it is only adding 1-2 inches of additional coverage than the sheet metal. Not sure it was worth the price. After seeing them installed, I am not sure I would recommend them. Might being better just to them it open so you can hose it off easier.

less rock chips

We have a lot of crushed basalt on the logging roads here in Oregon; nasty little 12 sided "jack hammers" flying off the tires.

It looks like the kit could cut down on the rock chips in the wheel well.

I considered coating the rear Wells with some left-over bed liner...but.

I installed the front wheel well kit, gonna do the rear kit soon; mainly for rock chips.

Looks nice.

What part number and where did you order them from? I ordered my truck and they forgot to add the wheel liners so I will be adding once I take delivery.

Those look like ford's liners, Husky's come down a lot further I think they cover the frame. I wish I had bought Husky's but I had already ordered the truck with the liners.

After I installed the rear liners I agree with everything you said. Don't get me wrong, they look nice but wish they covered a bit more for the $130 I paid for them. One really positive thing is if you have the Husky rear mud flaps the liner closes the gap quite a bit.

They look nice and appear to fit well. Are they tight enough around the edges to keep dirt from getting between them and the truck wheel wells?

Thanks for posting the pictures. If anyone has comparable pictures of the Husky liners, please post them.

Is it necessary or recommended to remove the little black plastic flap in the rear to install the liners?

They are the ford oem ones, part #: HC3Z9927886B . You don't have to remove the black plastic flap they fit over it. They are snug in the wheel well so i don't know if water will get in between them and the sheet metal.

I would almost consider the OEM liners to be more of a fit-n-finish item than a wheel well protection device. What protection they do provide is an added bonus.

I went with Husky also, a huge value add with regards to looks and keeping the underbody cleaner.

I think Huskys do come down quite a bit further than yours look.

Am I wrong or doesn't Husky offer the fronts?
They do look pretty nice, they serve two of my gripes with the factory...1) they cover the body color presenting a black wheel well and 2) when viewing the truck from the side (at any distance over 10-feet) they hide the gap between the frame rails and the cargo box.
Do any of you have any experience with no-drill mud flaps for the 2017+ Super Duties? I want them only for winter to keep slush off the running boards (and rears to complete the set), I'd like some that I can 'pop-on and pop-off' seasonally...
...thanks to all who reply...

Weather tech makes no drill mud flaps. I have a set on my truck. Took all of about 10 minutes to install all 4.

I have ave no plans on removing mine. I’m on dirt/gravel roads a lot and they help keep the stuff off the running boards and paint.

i think the flaps in the previous post are weather techs
