Are there two different types of wide rear fender flares?

I'm looking to purchase 4.6/4.8 front and rear fender flares for my 2004 4.4 with aluminum running boards.

I was wondering if there are two different widths I can buy?
Do some extended flares stick out more than others?

Also, who has the best price?

I will buy front and rear 4.8 bumpers and flares.

There are two different sets of rear flares - ones to use with running boards and ones to use without running boards. I believe they both "stick out" the same.

'Cept now there are 3!?!.

They make an Off Road flare for the rear only. (no RB) Wider and 1.5 inches farther down. Just had them installed. 62.00 for the 2 rear flares, same OEM number as the non RB rear flare but specify Off Road.

160 to install all 4 at the dealer.

when he says $62 for 2 and $140 for all 4, i knew they are not flares before i saw the pics. of course they are mudflaps. the flares set are $700 for the set without the installation. forgive the newbie, he will learn if he stayed on this board long enough.

Yep, those are flaps, not flares. Realchef's X does not have fender flares.

Rear fender flares came stock on the 4.6is/4.8is models, but not front fender flares right? I saw somewhere front fender flares, could they be aftermarket?
