Truck Hardware Gatorback ZR2 Black Wrap Bowtie Mud Flaps - 5/8" Kickback - Set

Things to Consider

• Price
  Frequently described as expensive/‘hard pill to swallow’ (some citing $600–$1000+), though many still say it’s worth it.
• Installation time/complexity
  Rears and dually setups often challenging/time-consuming; some recommend removing rear wheels, using a right-angle drill, clamps, or a helper; alignment can take time.
• Instructions/labeling clarity
  Some find written directions vague/confusing; hardware not clearly labeled (washers/spacers), left/right not distinguished, videos not always model-specific; “no-drill” marketing criticized when drilling in liners/plastic is still required.
• Hardware/kit issues
  Occasional missing screws/washers/clips/parts; mixed metric/SAE hardware complaints; plastic fasteners/clips stripping or pulling out; desire for stainless/black hardware and better washer/spacer labeling.
• Fitment quirks on certain trims/tires
  Some reports of rubbing with oversized tires/turning lock; minor misalignment of holes/templates; driver/passenger side fit differences; not perfect fit for some newer model years or with wheel-well liners/fender flares/steps.
• Brackets sometimes required/upsell
  Several note rear support brackets feel ‘necessary’ but are not always included; frustration at needing to add brackets separately or not being told upfront.
• Packaging/shipping damage
  A few cases of brackets coming loose in transit causing scratches; damaged outer boxes; occasional wrong color/plate shipped.
• Finish/cosmetic nitpicks
  Silver fasteners/washer heads stand out; some plates/finishes streak or rust (rare report of rust forming on logo); desire for thicker metal in certain kits.
• Ground clearance
  Some note flaps hang low for off-road use; risk of tearing in deep snow, tall grass, or trail obstacles (though removability helps on some models).
