Best Mudflaps for 2500


Recommended Posts

From what I've read, it seems like a rubber works best since they can flex and move. The solid plastic ones seem to get broken pretty easily, at least if you actually go off-road or live where there's a lot of snow. I know the plastic ones usually look better since they're molded to the body, but I don't like sacrificing function for looks.

I think oem splash guards are a joke, they a not long/low enough to prevent rocks from hitting truck.

 

I buy big, ryderfleetproducts.com and cut to fit. Like to keep front only an inch or two off the ground.

These is what I pieced together. Aluminum splash guards on rear. Huge and solid, fronts still have give. Weighted bottom to keep down driving. And use only stainless hardware.

 

Not a single chip on the rocker panels over 796,000 miles.

Im not impressed with the Weather Tech ones i have either. My steps had so much mud and dirt on them the wife asked of it was miners moss from the Gold Rush show. I LMAO when she said that. I cut some stainless strips and some rubber and extended the front ones down. It really helps alot. Guess thats why I never had steps on any other truck ive had.

Luverne heavy duty rubber are what I run on mine. Lots of protection and have a nice stainless detail at the bottom. Had em on my last truck too. Had 125k and almost no Rick chips which is amazing with how much gravel driving I do.

For the time being I added 5 inches of rubber to the bottom of my front weathertech flaps. I used 2 inch body side molding tape to fasten it to the inside of the flap and then let 5 inches hang below. I bought a small steel bar to pop rivet along the bottom of the rubber to weight it down and keep it straight. It doesn't look bad and this is just an experiment as I already spent the money on the weathertech and would like to salvage them if possible. Knowing what I know now I would get gatorbacks from this point forward.
