How to Install Fender Flares 94-02 Dodge RAM 1500

Difficulty: Beginner · About 60 min · Dodge Ram 1500

Install aftermarket fender flares on a 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 1500 by fitting the supplied weather seal and attaching each flare along the wheel arch.

Steps

1. Prepare the flares

   Wash and dry the wheel-arch areas, then test-fit each flare to confirm the correct corner and mounting points. Install any supplied trim fasteners and apply the weather seal continuously along each inner edge.

2. Position the rear flare

   If a mud flap is fitted, loosen its outer fastener enough for the flare edge to tuck behind it. Align the flare with the arch and body lines before installing any hardware.

3. Secure the flare

   Use the kit’s supplied attachment method and fasteners, avoiding unapproved drilling into structural areas. Tighten the hardware evenly so the flare is held snugly without distorting its edge.

4. Repeat and inspect

   Install the remaining flares using the same careful fit check, then retighten the mud-flap fastener if moved. Check tire clearance through steering and suspension travel and confirm no flare contacts the tire.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
