Liners should be standard equipment on all trucks, but that’s a topic for another discussion.
Can’t believe the price they charge for this to add later. Insane.

I just installed the Rough Country liners as well. $90 shipped. They really should be standard on all trucks.

Ford and Chevy are optional as well unless you go with higher leveled trucks.

Rough Country wheel well liners.
$90. Go over the existing half liners. Took 20 minutes to install without even removing the wheels.

How is the thickness of the plastic on the Rough Country? The OEM ones were like paper in a few places, they seem to flex a lot and make a bunch of noise over bumps. Might just have to hit them with some bed liner spray

They are very thick. Thick enough that it’s a little difficult to get them where they need to be in there.

Mine did not. i think it’s an option for every level, but they automatically check off that option for the highest trims. But you pay for it no matter what.

Even the OEM ones that you buy as an option and install yourself are A LOT THINNER than the factory ones.
I never installed mine. Just too flimsy.

Has anyone put the Rough Country liners on a truck with the Ram Box? I wouldn't think it matters, but I read a review saying they don't fit trucks with Ram Box.

I have Ram boxes and installed the OE liners. Yes they are flimsy but in my opinion they are there to stop the salt, slush and mud from getting into the wheel well crevices and nothing else so they don’t need to be HD.

Installed the Rough Country liners on my 2021 1500 just a few days ago. Will confirm they are a beast to put in. 20 minutes according to instructions, took me more close to 2 hours from start to finish. The second one goes a faster once you figure out the technique on the first. Definitely have to man handle them and get the left and right completely in up past the curves before getting the top. Twice I was able to get it all end but one lip at the a curve but at thay point its near impossible to push that last piece in. Had to pull the top back out and man handle the corner in while slightly moving the other side to try to get some slack. Attaching some pictures of the finished product and the part you dont want to be at, stuck with 1 lip left in the corner.

The factory flare screws didnt seem very tight at all so that concerned me on how much to tighten them after getting the liner in. I tried to match the factory tightness, maybe just a bit tighter.
