Be prepared to be frustrated. Instructions were great and accompanied with the video it should of been a breeze. Unfortunately with husky wheel well liners and factory trims it wasn't. Getting to the inner bolt was a bear. The husky liner sits off the trucks inner sheet metal a bit causing the "factory bolt to be reused" to be too short. After about 3 hours and a pound of flesh later the driver side was done. The passenger side... 25 minutes! Trim the liner at the location of the bracket and get a longer bolt! Seems very sturdy and supportive.
These things are a no brainer to buy. They make mounting easier but not perfect. They keep the truck warrenty and dont allow steel and aluminum to touch. They really should provide a new plastic push pin as there really is no saving it. The existing truck parts were the most difficult parts to remove. Easy install and flaps look great.
The quality of these brackets is outstanding. Not the cheapest but but very strong. Worked great on my 2016 Ford F 150 Platinum. You will need them if your truck is made of aluminum .
Fast shipping from SharpTruck. Brackets are very well designed and easy to install. They are sturdy and I like that I did not have to drill any holes in the truck body to install them.
The dealer installed rear mud flaps on my new Ford F-150 were virtually useless. Gravel broke my boat windshield while I was towing. The new Gatorback flaps have a much larger surface area and are much more durable. I should be able to tow my boat safely on gravel roads again.
