Mounting Brackets are good quality and designed well. I gave it 4 Stars because the hardware kit provided is adequate but I don’t understand why you would use stainless steel split lock washers on a stainless steel flat washer. Besides the extra effort to put it all together when you are contorting your body under the truck. I would recommend using stainless steel nylock nuts and save yourself time and effort installing the mud flaps with this bracket kit.
I love the looks, heavy duty materials, etc. I was challenged with the install: 1) the wire harness comes off easier with a specialized tool (had a mechanic friend do it), 2) the bracket should be started from the outside to inside...reverse of that caused my washers to fall off and it's a very tight reach for the nut 3) you have to have a 90 degree drill to drill into the wheel well tubs and even that can be challenging, 4) unless you have long arms, it's very difficult to hold the nut and bolt and tighten. I love the looks now that they're installed, but I should have taken the $240 install bid from a shop down the road.
The brackets and instructions don’t distinguish which one is left or right. Also be prepared to get frustrated and try several methods to finally get them in. If you have long arms or happen to have a truck lift you will probably make easy work of it. In addition the screws that come with it are fragile so be easy on tightening. They break with little torque.
2500/3500 Ram Horizontal Gatorback Mud Flaps - Front - With OEM Flares

This is our third RAM that we've ordered and installed Gatorback mudflaps. There are less expensive mudflaps to be had, but Gatorback mudflaps provide the extended coverage we require plus have a lifetime warranty. We are very satisfied with the quality of our purchase and ease of install. In today's time it isn't often one can find quality products that last and fit exactly like they are supposed to.
I wanted a product that enhanced my 2022 RAM. After researching many different products I selected these and I’m very glad I did. They are very well made and the appearance after install was exactly what I had hoped for. This is a product that is well worth what they cost. I’m very pleased that I didn’t purchase a lighter weight, lesser expensive product. I can strongly recommend these for your vehicle.
