[RAMEN]

Was I wrong to expect it to protect the doors from the mud?
Whats the their purpose then?

I believe between mopar, husky and weathertech the weathertechs are between the mopar (shortest) and husky (longest). I do not know the numerical difference.
FYI:

Mud Flaps

Any ideas for a 12 inch wide wheel setup? Kickbacks don't work due to the wheel well liners. Weathertech won't give coverage. Only options I am having is custom cut long John style mud flap. Any other recommendations? Few pics added No suggestions but wanted to comment that those are good...

The only way they would stop mud completely is if they were wider than the tire and almost touching the ground, even then some would still get through. They help, but are not an end all. The only way to really protect the area is with protective film, but you still have to wash it off.

Haha...yeah, you were definitely wrong if you expected them to stop that from happening. Like Wsmith said, their purpose is to help reduce mud/rock chips on the rockers and lower door panels, but do not eliminate that problem. You can see the area directly behind the splash guard that was protected from the worst of it.

UMMM, I think your expectations WERE a little high. Its preventing some of the mess right behind the tire, but I am not sure any flaps are going to stop ALL of that..

Adding running boards will further help reduce that spray on the side of your truck and stop more rock dings.
FWIW I hear rocks bounce off of mine all the time.

I have the longest, which are the Husky front flaps, and even then you will need running boards to protect your lower doors and rear fender/moldings from rock chips. Your other option is to have protective film installed on the lower doors, rear fenders and painted fender flares, but that is quite expensive.

Most affordable option, get a set off factory take-off running boards used. I got mine for $100 from a local member, who honestly was practically giving them away. However, I see them from time to time for $200 - $300. You can get a quality RB20, which comes covered with bedliner for about $625.
