Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Virgin Rubber Construction: Made from 1/2" thick virgin rubber, these mud flaps provide superior durability and resistance to cracking or fading compared to recycled alternatives. The high-quality rubber keeps the flaps in place without flapping, even at highway speeds.
- Stainless Steel Plates: High-quality stainless steel plates add a sleek and rugged look to your truck, ensuring your vehicle's premium status is showcased.
- Full Tire Coverage: The front flaps provide 5" of tire coverage, while the rear offer 7.5", ensuring that your truck is fully protected from dirt, mud, gravel, and other debris.
- Custom-Fit Rear Support Brackets: The set includes custom rear support brackets (GB756802) for added stability, preventing unwanted movement and ensuring a secure fit for the mud flaps in any driving condition.
Installation
Front Flap Installation: The front mud flaps are designed to fasten directly to the lip of the wheel well using stainless steel self-tapping screws, and existing factory fasteners can also be used if available. The installation is simple and requires only basic tools, making it a straightforward task for any truck owner. Ensure at least 1/2" of clearance between the tire and wheel well to accommodate the flap thickness. The front flaps install flush with the wheel well, allowing seamless integration with accessories like step bars or power boards.
Rear Flap Installation: The rear mud flaps are installed using custom-fit rear support brackets and self-tapping screws. These brackets ensure that the mud flaps remain securely mounted, minimizing movement and preventing contact with the tires. This secure installation ensures that your truck is well-protected, even during off-road driving or in tough weather conditions.
