I want to install an air dam/bug shield and mud flaps on my new 2018 F350 Platinum, SRW truck. Before I purchase a component that may not be the the ideal one, I am asking.
Thanks,
Do you have, or do you plan on having, a wheel/tire set with larger offset than stock? If so, the OEM, weather tech, etc, options are not going to give you much protection. I have rockblokz flaps. They extend out of the wheel well and offer far better protection than other options.
I’ll look into them. However, I’m not a fan of tires that protrude outside of wheelwells.
I understand, to each their own. Im sure the others would work just fine for you! If you want to spend some big money on flaps you could check out the gatorback flaps. they're very nice looking, the price is just way too rich for my blood.
I am very happy with the Duraflaps on my 2019. I have a friend with OEM on his '13 which he had added at the dealership prior to p/u and they still look good and function as expected.
I went with gatorback with the metal piece that sets the flap back. I had to purchase an additional bracket so I wouldn’t need to drill into the aluminum. As mentioned they are pricy but I felt ok with going with them as I was protecting something considerably more pricy.
I found the part number for the deflector that I would like to buy; Hood Deflector - Black Molded - Ford (HC3Z-16C900-C),
but the shipping is 70 to 100 dollars. Does anyone know where to buy it with a more reasonable shipping charge?
