Are they off a 2019+ Laramie? If they are, there are tabs that go through the fender. You can cut them off so you don't have to drill holes in your fenders. Have the person selling them turn them over and take a picture.Does anyone know if these will attach to a big horns fenders before I buy them and try?
Theyre already colour matched which us a huge bonus.

The front and rear wheel wells are the same shape regardless of trim. The only issue will be mounting method.

You ended up being correct.
I bought them they were too good to pass up and I think i will spy line x or equivalent around the rockers and wheel wells. Then remove the tabs and 2 way tape them to the line x hoping it's enough to hold lol

This is one of my top three “wants” for my tradesman. I put on aftermarket wheels and even though I tried to stay as close to stock backspacing I could, my tires stick out just a tad. Also I like the lines of them compared to the slick sides.
A friend of mine added a set to his big horn. He cut the tabs off and just used the double sided tape and bolts inside the fender. They look great but are not as tight as the factory installed ones. What I mean by this is if you tap lightly on a factory installed set there is no movement or rattle. On his set when you tap on them you can see a ever so tiny gap on the top edge and get a little movement. I still want them and look forward to hear your plans. Once I get a set and plan to install I don’t plan on taking them off ever but don’t really want to drill small holes either.

Got any pictures of them installed? Are the rear the same for fleet side or dually?

Since the OEM fender flares for the Laramie come with the tabs, is there also a template to mark and drill the fender? I'm not concerned about drilling a hole, once installed they won't be coming off, and I want to be sure they're a good tight fit.
The more I look at the pictures. Are the tabs solely for alignment or do they serve a purpose for securely attaching them to the panel? Also it appear some like the off road flares and most aftermarket come with the rubber trim edge and the Laramie flares do not. Is one better than another?

Any recommendations for oe style flares for a 2015 2500? Can’t find any mopar sets for sale without having to pay $200 for shipping. After getting them painted it would be close to $1000. eBay has tons of “oe style” flares for cheap but want to avoid problems as much as possible. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!
