I got the 1 3/4 " Xenon ones they do a decent job at keeping the mud down and they stopped the lower part of my truck from getting sandblasted off

I went with the eurethane xenon ones cuase they are flexable .......... buddy of mine got holes knocked in his Bushwackers when driving on gravel

I've had Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender's on mine for a year and a half.

Got them shortly after getting my wider tires, and at the same time I got my lift.

Main reason I got the was to make my truck legal by Utah standards,
in that they cover almost all the tire (12 inches above the tire, but form a roof over them )

I'm sure it keeps some mud and rocks from being flipped up onto the hood and you can see where it blocks muddy spray down the uppper side of the truck.

Good set of splash guards will keep rocks and spray off the rocker panels.

No evidence of any paint rub, even after some very rough roads.

I am very picky about my paint and how it looks (Glossy Black). Right now I am getting mud slinged up on the doors with 265/75R16 Michelins and the Fender sticks out 1" past the tread. So when I put the Hummer Tires on (315/70R17 Bridgestone A/T KOs) I am wanting a fender Flare which sticks out around 3" or more. I am looking at the Pacer Heavy Duty Flexy Flares as they are cheap to buy they come in widths of up to 4 1/2" extension and will fit the wheels wells with no cutting. I like the looks of the bushwackers, but the most extension I can get is 2" with the extend-a-fender. The next stage up is the Cut-Out. But they dont have one to fit the dodge. Oh well. Good look with your hunting.
