Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Virgin Rubber Construction: The mud flaps are crafted from 1/2" thick virgin rubber, offering exceptional durability, flexibility, and resistance to cracking and fading.
- Official Ford Oval Logo: The black Ford oval logos are officially licensed, stamped onto a stainless steel plate with a hand-applied vinyl overlay, ensuring the logos remain bold and vibrant.
- Full Tire Coverage: The front mud flaps provide 9" of tire coverage, while the rear flaps offer 10.5", giving your truck comprehensive protection against dirt, mud, gravel, and other debris.
- Custom-Fit Rear Support Brackets: The set includes custom-fit rear support brackets (GB755006) for added stability, ensuring the mud flaps stay securely in place during all driving conditions.
Installation
Front Flap Installation: The front mud flaps fasten directly to the lip of the wheel well using self-tapping screws, and you can also use existing factory fasteners if available. Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. Ensure at least 1/2" of clearance between the tires and the wheel well to accommodate the flap thickness. The flaps install flush with the wheel well, working seamlessly with accessories like step bars, power boards, or side steps.
Rear Flap Installation: The rear mud flaps are secured using the provided custom-fit rear support brackets and self-tapping screws, providing additional stability and preventing the flaps from flapping against the tires during rough driving conditions.
