What's the best mudflaps??? What are you using?

[Hot COCOAL]

Alrighty guys, I've been pulled over and warned to get some mudflaps on the truck which seems ridiculous to me cuz My truck is not even lifted all that much and the tires aren't even a full 12.5" wide

Whatevs, the po are always looking to enforce their authority around here, in anyway they can :baby:

So I've been lookin at a few different options...

OEM molded ones aren't goin to cut it

Then there are some generic ones available at the auto parts stores, you can make a set out of semi flaps I suppose, and I have some pilfered ideas I'd be willing to try....

Then there's a couple seemingly solid options available from these two companies:

www.Uptruckinc.com
And
http://www.duraflap.com/lifted.html

Anyone ever used either of their products before??? The duraflap line offers more options than the uptruck line up, but the ones I'm interested in are called the KICK BACK style of flap

They aren't really all that cheap, the duraflaps go for about $160-$180 for a set of two and the uptruck ones are a ridiculous $298 for a set of two, that's just nukin futz, but a good and easily replicable idea nonetheless, and I was wondering if anyone had tried it out..

If anyone has had experiences with these companies, seen their products or even made a set of the kick back flaps themselves, I'd like to hear about it.
I'm also interested in seeing and hearing what bolt on flaps have been working for "you" if anyone would care to share...

Thanks:angel:

I have used these on 5 different trucks in the last 15 years.

i got a 225 dollar ticket for no mudflaps a couple years ago. no lift and 285/75/16 tires that dont stick out past fenders. and i was no where near home so it wasnt worth trying to fight in court.

I am running Duraflaps in the rear right now. I have a set of fronts to put on when the weather warms up. I like them because you don't have to drill to install them, but the hardware they provide is a little lackluster in my opinion.

I had these with my old pickup when I had tires that stuck out and lived in a state that they made us have mudflaps. I ran LED's to them as well that tied into my rear running lights. They were pretty good, but it didn't snow where I lived and the truck stayed on pavement so really didn't get much wear and tear also wasn't my daily driver.

Sounds like that cop was keeping everyone safe by pulling you over. They need to go bust meth heads and murderers.

Duraflaps get my vote.

A lot of guys have ran duraflaps. I just made my own similar ones. That's a lot of $$$ for something that's going to get torn off when I forget to take them off before getting into the mud.

Stock molded work fine for us on our knarly roads, we have added a piece of 4" dense rubber to the bottoms before and it worked well to protect our boats gel coat, used the factory mounting holes to secure
