Do N Fab cab length bars work with GM molded front mud flaps?

Resqu2 · March 26, 2017

I have my bars coming Tues and want to order the front GM molded mud flaps but can't figure out by a web search if the mud flaps will fit. I have a 17 crew cab Silverado. Thanks for any help. I know these bars are popular and hope someone has the setup I'm wanting to do.

I don't have these myself, but based off the pictures I just looked up, I don't see how they would impact mud flaps being installed. The bars don't go into the wheel well so you shouldn't have an issue.

Yep, they'll fit just fine! I've got the N-Fab 3-step bars and GM splash guards. You can check out my build thread for pics.

If you live in an area where they use salt in the winters be prepared for rust around all the welds on the bars.

Ugh, not surprised. I'm hoping they will look good for 3 years. I went with the flat black powder coated instead of the gloss. That probably won't make a difference though.

Well I've had mine on for 2 winters now and they're rusted at all the welds. After the 1st winter they started to rust. Mine are the flat black ones. You might be able to keep them from rusting if you constantly keep them clean during the salt months but I would be surprised if they didn't rust. I will say if you buy them directly from n-fab you will have better luck with their warranty program. I however did not buy them directly and the company I did buy them from wanted me to pay shipping to have them replaced which was almost the cost of brand new ones.

I did buy from Auto Anything and was shipped direct from N-Fab. I think I have 3 years warranty so we shall see. I may even hit the joints with the clear Plasti Dip before winter driving. Couldn't hurt I guess.

I would look into the Magnum RT bars as well they are a good looking design. Dont know how well the coating holds up.

Looks good!

How is the positioning of the steps getting in and out?

what lift and tires are your running?

i'm afraid my truck will look to "low" with only the 2"level and 33's.......

The steps are right where they should be for getting in and out. The lift is a zone 6.5 with toyo mt 35x12.5/20
