If you are looking for mud flaps you buy once and never think about again, this is them.

- Lifetime rubber warranty - If a flap comes off the truck or is damaged from normal wear and tear, Gatorback sends replacement rubber at no charge for as long as you own the truck.
Which Gatorback Is Right for Your Truck?
Gatorback mud flaps for the 2019-2027 RAM 2500 and 3500 come in several versions. Use this quick guide to make sure you pick the right one:
- Rear pair or set of 4 - This listing is the rear pair only (2 flaps). For front coverage, choose a complete set of 4 for your truck, with or without OEM fender flares.
- With or without OEM fender flares - RAM 2500/3500 Gatorback sets come in two fits. The version marked "Fits with OEM fender trim only" is for trucks with factory fender flares, and the version marked "Does NOT fit with OEM fender trim" is for trucks without them. The rear flaps are the same for both, so this rear pair fits either way.
- Single rear wheel only - These flaps fit single rear wheel (SRW) trucks. They do NOT fit dually (dual rear wheel) trucks.
- Choosing a style - This version is the black American flag style. This rear pair is also available in: RAM head logo, RAM text logo, plain rubber (no plate), polished stainless steel plate, American flag, black anodized RAM text logo, black anodized aluminum plate, black wrap Laramie Longhorn logo, black wrap RAM head logo, black wrap RAM text logo, gunmetal plate, gunmetal RAM head logo, gunmetal RAM text logo, Laramie Longhorn logo and horizontal RAM logo.
Features and Benefits
These flaps are constructed from 1/2" thick virgin rubber, a high-quality rubber that has not been recycled, giving greater durability and flexibility than reclaimed rubber. They are engineered to withstand harsh weather, road debris and off-road environments, and the weight of the thick rubber keeps them from sailing at highway speed. With 12" wide flaps and 9.25" of rear tire coverage, measured from the bottom of the fender to the bottom of the flap, they help reduce dirt buildup on your truck's exterior, step bars and running boards and minimize paint chipping, preserving the value and look of your truck.
The black American flag design is exclusive to SharpTruck and is featured on a stainless steel plate with a durable black finish that measures 10 1/4" x 5". The stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, so the design keeps its striking appearance over time. You will appreciate the attention to detail in these flaps.
Fit is built in. These flaps are precision-engineered for 2019-2027 RAM 2500 and 3500 single rear wheel trucks with or without OEM fender flares, since the rear flaps are the same for both. They do not fit dually trucks. The flaps mount to factory mounting points and existing fasteners with no body drilling, preserving your truck's original structure and finish, and they install flush to the inside of the wheel well, so they work with step bars, power boards and side steps. Gatorback mud flaps are proudly made in Canada.
Installation
Installation is simple, with no body drilling required. The flaps use your truck's factory mounting points and existing fasteners, and if factory fasteners are not available, the additional hardware you need for a snug, secure fit is included. The flaps come with holes that line up with the factory fasteners, along with all of the hardware. Each flap takes about 15 minutes to install with basic tools you already have at home, and the flaps install flush to the inside of the wheel well for a clean, professional-grade finish. Install videos and installation instructions are available so you can see the full process step by step before you start.

Care & Maintenance
- Clean the rubber regularly with a mild soap and water solution to remove dirt, mud and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals and petroleum-based cleaners, which can degrade rubber over time.
- Rinse thoroughly and let the flaps air dry. Proper care keeps the rubber flexible and extends its life.
- Clean the stainless steel plates regularly with a mild soap and water solution. For tougher stains or minor surface corrosion, use a stainless steel cleaner made for 304 stainless steel or automotive use. Always dry the plates thoroughly to prevent water spots, and polish to maintain their shine.
- Check the mounting hardware periodically and retighten if needed, especially after off-road or rough-road driving.
