I wouldn't for 2 reasons.
1. $63 bucks for a little plastic
2. they look rigid. if you go offroad, those things will be the first to get ripped off or crushed.
you'd probably be fine if the truck is just a pavement princess though.
The reason I'm so leary of them is because of a 4Runner I had. It had the OEM mudflaps that look almost identical to the link you provided. I was playing in the woods and went into a mud rut. When I left the rut, both of the drivers side flaps were gone and the sheet metal was bent where the screws had been pulled out

I don't know if I am quite ready for that big of a mod lol...especially because of what will happen to my gas mileage.

but honestly, there isn't a good replacement for mud flaps
