Constructed from 1/2" thick virgin rubber, these mud flaps are highly durable and flexible, capable of standing up to extreme weather and challenging driving conditions.

Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Rubber Construction: Made from 1/2" thick virgin rubber, offering superior durability and resistance to cracking, even under extreme weather conditions.
- Comprehensive Tire Coverage: The front flaps offer 9 inches of tire coverage, while the rear flaps provide 11 inches, ensuring maximum protection from road spray and debris.
- Custom Fit Rear Support Brackets: Includes custom-fit rear support brackets (GB755007) to keep the mud flaps securely in place, providing stability even during challenging driving conditions.
Installation
Front Flap Installation: The front mud flaps attach directly to the lip of the wheel well using self-tapping screws, with existing factory fasteners also being used if available. Installation is simple and requires only basic tools. Make sure 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, seamlessly integrating 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 ensures that the mud flaps stay securely in place, preventing them from flapping against the tires, even during off-road driving or extreme weather conditions.
Tire Coverage
- Front Mud Flaps: Provide 9 inches of tire coverage, effectively protecting against road spray and debris.
- Rear Mud Flaps: Provide 11 inches of tire coverage, offering extended coverage for the rear wheels to keep your truck clean and protected.
