I went with the Husky liners and they extend down much further than the OEM ones so I can't compare to mine. For yours it looks like a slight difference in the mold for the two sides butI see what you're talking about. Someone else with OEM liners may be able to confirm that.

I believe it's so that the shock mounting bolts stay exposed.
The husky's cover those up.
Edit: nevermind. I now see the missing part...wow. that is odd!

Passenger side shock mount doesn't have the lock bar on the nut so it takes two tools to remove unlike a single on the driver's side. Perhaps they provided a cut out to make accessing that easier?

Can you provide link to the Amazon specials? I like that they cover those frame holes.Probably messed up trimming the flash on it as it came out of the mold. I'm happy with my $89 amazon specials that cover up those frame holes keeping mud out.

Husky liners are only 114 and they are a perfect fit as well as Husky has fantastic support. Amazon claims they don't fit, but they do.

Consider buying the "used" ones if they include the required screws. I believe mine were open-box complete. You can always send them back if they're incomplete, or call husky and they'll send you the missing hardware free.
Regardless, the liners are just tossed in a box. I wasn't happy with the shape of them and re-shaped them with my heat gun. I suspect they're all like that due to how they're just tossed into the box. Heat gun + water spray bottle -- heat to adjust shape, spray with cold water to hold it.

Last year when I bought the Ford OEM wheel liners I received two drivers side wheel liners.
To the average Joe the right and left side wheel liners look practically identical and interchangeable, but they are not interchangeable. My wild a$$ guess is that the extra cutout helps prevent getting two identical parts; it helps the wheel liner boxing person identify what part to place the right and left side stickers on and to help ensure that you get both a right and left side part in the box. That said, my entire theory may be wrong because it didn't help the person boxing the parts in my case since he/she didn't read the stickers, and I had to go back to Ford and have them open another box to to get a passenger side. ?

That’s weird. My passenger-side liner does not do that. But it’s also a year older.Is is me or did somebody cut a piece of my passenger side wheel well liner?? I hope i’m just not going f*cking crazy!
