Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Rubber Construction: Made from 1/2" thick rubber, these mud flaps are built to last, offering exceptional resistance to cracking and wear.
- Black Anodized Aluminum Plate: The anodized aluminum plate measures 10 1/4" x 5" and adds a sleek, stylish accent to your truck's overall look.

Installation
Front Flap Installation: The front mud flaps attach directly to the lip of the wheel well using self-tapping screws, and existing factory fasteners can also be used if available. Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic tools. Ensure there is at least 1/2" of clearance between the tire and the wheel well to accommodate the flap's thickness. The front flaps install flush with the wheel well, allowing for seamless integration with accessories like step bars, power boards, or side steps.
Rear Flap Installation: The rear flaps are installed using custom-fit rear support brackets and one or two self-tapping screws to secure them tightly against the wheel well. This method ensures that the mud flaps stay in place, preventing them from flapping against the tires, even during tough driving conditions.
