Dodge Ram 1500 2500 3500 Wheel Arch Widener Kit 4 Pieces

Dodge Ram Fender Flares: the wide pickup look in a 4-piece kit

These fender flares for Dodge Ram cover all four wheel arches and give the pickup the muscular stance of modified American versions. A fender flare, also known as a fender extension or wheel arch cover, is a body part that extends the wheel well outwards: it visually widens the track, protects the sheet metal from gravel, and allows the installation of wider tires without protruding beyond the vehicle's dimensions.

Why choose this fender extension kit

• Complete 4-piece kit: two front and two rear flares, already paired for left and right sides.
• Pocket rivet style: the molded rivet heads replicate the look of off-road pickups without actually riveting the bodywork.
• Textured injected ABS: the matte grained black finish does not show marks and requires no paint.
• Peripheral foam seal: it fits the sheet metal, prevents water from pooling, and eliminates vibrations.
• Paint protection: gravel and salt spray stop on the flare, not on the fender.
• Compatible with wide tires: the additional coverage covers the protrusion created by deep-dish wheels.

Precise compatibility to check before ordering

This kit is designed for the 2001 to 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 as well as the 2003 to 2009 Ram 2500 and 3500, exclusively in Fleetside bodywork, meaning with a smooth-sided bed. Stepside versions, with a narrow bed and integrated running boards, have a different rear fender shape and are not included. All cabs are covered: Regular Cab, Quad Cab, and Mega Cab, as the bed length has no effect on the wheel wells.

Technical specifications

Contents: 4 fender flares (2 front, 2 rear). Material: High-strength injected ABS, UV-treated. Finish: matte textured black, ready to install. Style: pocket rivets. Sealing: peripheral self-adhesive foam seal. Mounting: clips and fasteners provided, using the original mounting holes where available. Bodywork: Fleetside only. Treatment: resistant to road salt and high-pressure washing.

Installation

Allow 2 to 3 hours for all four pieces, preferably with two people. Clean and degrease the wheel well edges, stick the foam seal to the inner face of each flare, position the piece without fastening it first, then secure it with the clip or screw. Tighten gradually, from the center outwards, to distribute the tension. Check the tightness after 200 km. Maintenance: standard washing; a plastic restorer restores the depth of the grained black finish once a year.

Frequently asked questions

How do you install fender flares?
Stick the foam seal, position the piece over the arch, then secure it with the provided clips and screws, relying on the original mounting holes.

Do you need to drill the bodywork?
The kit primarily uses the existing fasteners. Depending on the version, a few additional holes may be necessary: check before installation.

Are fender flares approved?
In France, the tire must not protrude beyond the bodywork. This is precisely the role of a fender extension, provided it covers all the protrusion.

Can they be painted to match the vehicle's color?
Yes, with a suitable plastic primer. The grained texture must then be sanded to achieve a smooth finish.

Are they suitable for a Stepside bed?
No. Only Fleetside bodywork with smooth sides is compatible.

Four covered arches, a visually widened track, and protected sheet metal: it is the most spectacular transformation of a Ram on a limited budget.
