What style of mud flaps do I need?
In most cases moon cut styled mud flaps are used in the front and the rectangular cut are used for the rear wheels. Moon cut reduces the need to trim excess rubber from the mud flap after it is installed. The best selling brand of mud guards for trucks today is the Gatorback Mud Flaps from Truck Hardware.
What are Off-Set or Kick-Back mud flap brackets?
Offset mud flap brackets, or kick-back brackets, are used with oversized tires and move the mud flap back away from the tire to prevent contact between the mud flap and the tire. The amount of offset, or kickback, varies between 5/8” to 2”. Installation of offset mud flaps can require a higher level of expertise. These brackets are used in conjunction with with mud flaps, the mud flaps are cut horizontally to desired length and attached to the mud flap brackets.
Do I need mud flap brackets to install my flaps?
Mud flap brackets add additional attachment options and make installing mud flaps quicker and easier. The brackets are optional for most applications although the majority of late model Ford Pickups require the rear bracket due to the lack of attachment points in the inner fender well. When brackets are needed usually they are only required for the rear flaps.
What is the purpose of Mud Flaps?
A mudflap or splash guard is attached in combination with the vehicle fender to protect the truck from mud and other road debris thrown into the air by the rotating tires. Truck mud flaps are typically made from a heavy duty material such as rubber that is not easily damaged by contact with debris. Mud flaps like the Gatorbacks can be heavy duty rectangular rubber suspended behind the tires, or may be like the WeatherTechs featuring custom molded lips below the rear of the vehicle's wheel wells. Mudflaps may also be aerodynamically engineered, utilizing shaping, to improve airflow and add styling to your truck or SUV. While a majority of flaps are plain black in color, Gatorbacks are available with custom logos for Chevrolet Silverado, Dodge Ram, Ford F150, Ford F250, Ford F350, Ford SuperDuty and GMC Sierra pickup trucks.
Mud Flaps are also commonly known as Truck Mud Flaps, Truck Mudflaps, Truck Mud Guards, Mud Guards, Mudguards, Stone Guards, Splash Guards, Rock Guards, Pickup Mud Flaps, Pickup Mudflaps
