These sure didn't seem to be custom fit for our 2017 F250 or for the Gatorback Mudflaps they were designed for. We were able to use only three of the pre-drilled holes, ended up drilling extra holes - which we had hoped to avoid by paying for custom fit mounting brackets; and we cut a whole lot of extra mudflap open that didn't need to be cut....but followed the directions to a "T". Darn! Just not what we had expected!
Gatorback mudflaps installation with custom brackets

The installation took several hours due to the instructions not being very clear or user friendly. I consider myself very mechanically inclined and I had trouble interpreting the instructions. I suggest adding some photos along with the instructions showing how the brackets should look installed. The brackets fit OK, but not great. I had to do some amount of improvising to get things to fit. Aside from this, the installation went well and in the end, the mudflaps look great and the custom brackets provide very sturdy support for the heavy mudflaps. I'm very happy with the installation. In spite of the few issues that I had, I recommend these custom brackets to anybody installing rear mudflaps on a 2017 Ford F-350 dually.

Best Mud Flaps on the market, not the cheapest, however as the saying goes buy the best and you only cry once! the pre-molded holes in the flaps are for a universal installation. So if you are using the no drill brackets (highly recommend) you will need to mark and drill holes for the custom installation. a templet is included to mark the hole location and a uni-bit makes easy work of drilling the holes. This also allows for alignment. Thank you SharpTruck & TruckHardware for a quality product as well as professional service.
Awesome product, mud flaps are only as good as the brackets that hold them in place. These brackets are as good as it gets at any price. Take the time to watch the tutorials, and installation is pretty straight forward. Installed with (21"X24") Ford Blue Oval flaps and the end result is A+ The flaps come pre-drilled for a universal installation, so when using the no drill brackets, you need to use the included templet to make the holes necessary for a custom installation. I used a uni-bit to drill holes, this also gives you some adjust-ability for a perfect fit.
The mounting/backing plates went in without a hitch. Then went to install the rubber flaps, watched videos and read directions. No holes in the flaps to match the plates. Very confusing, can't locate holes below with plates installed. They say if you buy them from Ford the flaps are predrilled for the 2017 Super Duty. Payed top dollar for these, should be done right. Not happy with them.
