Oem factory flares. Spat or no spat.

[Oscar the grouch 2022]

I currently have a 2022 ram 2500 tradesman that I will be adding the Oem factory flares to. I know I heard that I might have to change the spats to accept the the flares. Has anyone ram into this problem? If ur running the factory spats without flares how much trimming would you have to do/will it work with trimming? If you have pictures that would be great help.

Spats? Iam guessing you are talking about front mud flaps?

Pretty much on rams site they call them spats.

Seems to be an industry term...

Anyway I think the front...spats...are flare specific as to which part number you need.

Is this the part your asking about?

 

[Oscar the grouch 2022]

Correct. Wondering if people modify/trim the stock ones,replace them with the ones listed above or just remove them completely? If people modify/trimed the stock ones how much?

 

[sstoner911]

Doesn't look like you would need to trim them.

These are the ones on my truck. Just a tradesman. Gonna add color matched Oem flares.

It should look really good with the OEM flares. I like that green color.

Thank you. Big plans for it but still cold here in Wisconsin so I really can’t do very much.

I can’t answer for the factory flares but the spats had to come off to install my bushwackers. Pretty color truck.

 

[Oscar the grouch 2022]

Good to know. If I can’t trim my factory ones I’ll just take them off.

I trimmed my factory ones to work with the bushwackers

So you pretty much cut the factory one?trimmed off all the stuff that would be on the inside of the wheel well?

There is a mopar kit for the flares with oem spats.

part number: D2DJOEFLARES https://www.moparonlineparts.com/sku/d2djoeflares.html

 

[Oscar the grouch 2022]

Yeah I used those numbers for parts reference. Seems like a lot of those are on back or no eta time for them too come in. Same with the tail gate dampers.
