Anyone with experience with DuraFlap mud flaps? I'm looking at their Drill-less flaps. They're pricey, but seem to get great reviews. Do, you need the extra cost weights? Are they flexible enough that they won't break when dragging over stuff offroad?
Thanks

They will come off in the brush and bend your fenders.

$200 for a set of flaps? Nah, I don't think so.

I’m a fan of Durga flaps, had them on the last 3 trucks I’ve owned. Well made, great fit, and lots of protection.

I ended up buying the DuraFlaps. I like the installation system and stainless steel hardware. They are really nice quality. They are a little harder than I expected. I thought they would have a little more rubber and "give" in whatever the synthetic blend is. My truck is an inch or two higher in the back after adding another leaf spring. Then, I put in a 2" leveling kit in the front to even up the truck. DuraFlap recommended standard length flaps. The length on the back ones are good. But, the front ones seem a bit short. I wish I had the extra long flaps in the front. FYI, there are 10% discounts if you sign up for one of the Chevy/Ford/Dodge forums and use the code "member".

I got a set without the weights, they are awesome. Highly recommend them, they're stiff but flexible. Prolly would of gotten the weights butbi needed a set asap. They fit perfectly and come with all the hardware.

Yes, I'm very happy with them too. By comparison, the WeatherTech and Husky ones are pretty chintzy. I bought both and returned them. The Husky's advertise the set of 4 as being No-Drill. But, that's only true for the fronts. Step 1 for the rear Husky's is to drill 4 holes on each side...
I didn't get the weights either on the DuraFlaps. However, the flaps are so stiff that the weights really aren't needed. The stainless steel mounting clamps are a pretty slick piece of engineering too. I do wish I had ordered the extra long flaps for the front. I ordered the regular length front and back and the front ones seem a little too short.

I did get the extra long and extra wide to keep the road debris from flying.
