Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Virgin Rubber Construction: Crafted from 1/2" thick virgin rubber, these mud flaps are incredibly durable, resisting cracking, fading, and wear. The high-quality rubber material provides excellent coverage and stability, even at highway speeds.
- Black Anodized Aluminum Plates: Each flap features a 10 1/4" x 5" black anodized aluminum plate, adding a sleek and aggressive look to your truck. The plates are designed to maintain their appearance in harsh conditions, adding style without sacrificing toughness.

Installation
Front Flap Installation: The front mud flaps are designed to fasten directly to the lip of the wheel well using self-tapping screws, with existing factory fasteners also usable if available. The installation is simple, requiring only basic tools. Be sure to leave at least 1/2" of clearance between the tire and wheel well to accommodate the flap thickness. These flaps install flush with the wheel well, ensuring compatibility with accessories like step bars, power boards, or side steps.
Rear Flap Installation: The rear mud flaps are secured using the included custom-fit rear support brackets and self-tapping screws. These brackets provide added stability, preventing the flaps from contacting the tires and minimizing movement during challenging driving conditions.
