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 be used if available. The installation process is straightforward and requires only basic tools. Ensure at least 1/2" of clearance between the tire and the wheel well to accommodate the flap thickness. The front flaps install flush with the wheel well for seamless integration with accessories like step bars, power boards, or side steps.
Rear Flap Installation: The rear mud flaps are secured using custom-fit rear support brackets and self-tapping screws, which keep them tight against the wheel well. This ensures the mud flaps remain firmly in place, reducing the risk of flapping into the tires even in challenging driving conditions.
