Who has installed splash guards

Bought a set of Mopar splash guards front and rear. On the front ones your suppose to drill the holes but the very top hole lines up with a factory hole that is way to big. What have you guys done, just go get a bigger screw? Thanks.

Get a backer clip (or whatever they are called). It's a clip that slides over the lip and has a smaller hole on the inside for the screw to screw into.

Nut and bolt with thread lock. So far no problems at all! Don't forget to use a big washer, that way the bolt will have less of a chance to tear through the metal.

Ditto, mine were in the harware that came with the flaps. Throw the directions out, mine were for a different year truck!

Has anyone had any problems with the backside of the front mudflaps filling up with mud? Im thinking of drilling a hole in the bottom to help drainage. Any other ideas?

3rd gen splashguards

I've got an '07 on order and have a couple of questions: do they come with 3m tape or something to prevent paint wear and what size tires are you guys running with stock suspension that don't rub. Thanks

I cant answer the tape question, but i am running 285's on an 06 Mega with no rub. I have since added a levelling kit, but ran stock first. I will now go to 315's with the levelling kit.
