Some of it depends on what you want it to look like vs protection--
RockTamers may do the best for stopping MOST of the rocks from hitting the fiver, but always some will find their way thru. They also are somewhat ungainly-looking (my opinion) and tend to rock up/down without some type of stablization. As for dually fender guards--Gatorbacks work as do DuraFlaps.
I have WeatherTech dually mud guards on my 450--so far, almost no rock dings in about 15k towing.
Keep in mind that some of the tires extend outside of the fenders and will throw rocks past the flaps...
I think Duraflaps offers some wider models, but when they extend past the fenders, well, doesn't add to the beauty of the truck--but certainly do a better job against rocks.
