Rear wheel house liners

[reb0957]

For those of us with factory flares, correct me where I am wrong.
1. Everyone removes the inside screw on the forward side of the flare.
2. Remove the 1 screw from, for the tiny mudflap.
3. Loosen all screws that go through the factory flares and factory liner
4. Slide RC liner between factory liner and sheet metal. Top of liner just rests on inside of sheet metal
5. start lone inner screw, start mud flap screw, push in push pin,
6. tighten all!
Is this process correct?

Were you able to get yours installed?

Just took a shot at installing mine and no dice. I cannot get both sides to slide into place between the existing half liners and the sheet metal. I will have to attack this again over the weekend while I have more time.

For Step 3 - Do you need to loosen any of the screws at the top of the flare? Even tough the factory half liner does not extend accross?

I loosened up every screw across the arch. And then remove the one in the back.

you should be able to manhandle them into place. It did take me some effort, I had to pry and really work at it in a couple spots.

Overall it probably took me half an hour to do both sides. It was kind of an issue trying to slide them over my bigger tires but it really wasn’t too bad.

 

[CPenn1086]

Was there a particular side of the liner you worked in first? Or did you start from the arch and work your way down?

 

[reb0957]

Due to son's football schedule won't work on mine until Sunday. I wanted to have the right understanding before I started.
To me if you get the bottoms in first, the arch should be easy with a little muscle.

That’s where I ran into issues. Had both bottoms in no problem but couldn’t get the tabs at the corners of the arch to pop in. Was afraid I was gonna break the flare.

I used a pry bar and it was definitely a *****

 

[reb0957]

Look on youtube couple good videos on there really helped me out.

Specific to the rough country? If so, can you post a link to it? All I find are boss of the mopar ones!

I couldn’t find any videos that were Ram specific to Rough Country. This is frustrating to me as I shouldn’t need a video to install these lol. However, I sometimes have a habit of solving one problem while creating another... and I don’t want that to be the case here on my brand new truck

Same, and I don't think anyone with factory flares have installed them.

Watch the video that has the F150 and it will tell you exactly all you need to know. I watched five minutes of it and then was able to install them on my Rebel. Which has flares. It really is very self-explanatory and simple once you start doing it.

 

[CPenn1086]

It is self explanatory. I did not loosen all of the screws across the top of the flare like you mentioned before. Perhaps that is why I couldn’t get it to slide in at the top. I’ll give it another go this weekend, not gonna be defeated by fender liners lol.

Oh yeah I believe they were mopar ones. I'll keep looking to see if I find any rough country ones

 

[sppb32]

I just installed a set of Rough Country on mine... what a P.I.T.A. but it's done.

 

[CPenn1086]

Got mine in today. What worked for me was lining up the holes in the back of the wheel well, securing them, then working my way from the top of the arch down to the sides.

Either way it was a pain in the ***, but well worth it. They look great!
