GOt my power wagon flares at dodgeparts.com good price and fast shipping. I think it was 375 total. Dealer here wanted 150 each plus tax. They come with all the hardware easy install instructions.

The flares have a texture to them like the door handle . You could paint them if you wanted to. I have a black truck so i left them the way they came.

These aren't the PW flares they are ATS but very similar in my opinion. Easy to install and price is right 379 painted.

YYCGUY, How much do your fenders stick out. I have the a set of Cooper ATR in the stock size and I don't want the flare to stick out to far. The tires pick up a few more stones then the OE tires and thought a nice flare might help and also add to the looks of the truck.

Thanks for the info, Do the power wagon and ATS have the double sided tape, 3M so it doesn't rub the paint off??

I have the same treads as Dogezilla BFG 315's on the H2 wheels and the flares seem to stick out just right for that tire/wheel combo.

I agree. They are perfect. The only problem I have now is that I put on some mudflaps and the 315s hit them everytime I make a turn. I may have to pull them off....

Yes the ATS flares have 3M tape. That is what holds them to the outside of the fender and basically is what hold them on period. There are screws that are on the inside of the fender well that keep that part sug, but thats about it.
Easy install.
The part I liked the best is they can be ordered painted and it sure was a lot cheaper doing it that way than getting the local body shop to paint them.

Here is a side shot that should show roughly how much they stick out.

YYC and Zilla...nice looking trucks...I've got to get some ATS!!

YYC, who makes your running boards? I think I saw some like it on the web, but I lost the page. Do they install on the frame? I just can't commit to the mopar diamond plate boards, I know there are better options.

The Boards are J&J (http://www.j-jent.com/) they actually mount to the body on the underside by 4 bolt brackets. They are very sturdy, I have Had them for over a year and am more than happy with them.
