Need to order MudFlaps for my new truck to pass A DOT inspection.
Need rear ground clearance of about 4".
I have LT305/65R18 Tires (2005 F-350 SRW Longbed Lariat w/flares)

Can those of you that have installed custom flaps post your Front and Rear ground clearance?

Ford OEM=
Duraflap=
Weathertech=
Powerflow=
Other Brand?

Also any issues you have had; Fender flare fitment, Hardware, drilling, rusting, discoloring, ripping off, etc.

Thanks!

 

If possible mention your tire size(or stock) and weather you have a lift or not.

 

You may get responses to your request but I don't know if they will assist you. Why? You have stated that you are required by AZ DOT regulation to have 4" of ground clearance. Unless another FTE member has the exact same configuration (same truck, same tires, same ground clearance requirement), seeing mudflaps with higher or lower ground clearance is of no benefit to you.

I looked at Duraflaps website and they provide dimensions for their mudflaps. You should be able to measure the distance from the rear fender (lower rear corner) to the ground to determine the amount of mudflap required for 4" of ground clearance.

 

It is hard to go by duraflaps measurements, I went with the standard that they say hang 12" below the fenderwell flaps and they are closer to 10.5-11", so I would have gone with the longer ones had I known this before hand. My ground clearance is about 9" running 325/65/18's (stock height). 4" sounds pretty low, even duraflap recommends atleast 6" so you don't rip them off on a curb when backing in.

 

The AZ requirement is actually 8" I found out.
So Trophy if you got the 12" below the fender models and your tires are approx. 1" bigger than mine then I would end up around 8.5". That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for.

Anyone have husky's and could measure how much they hang down below the fender?

 

I'll remeasure them later if I get a chance, I am pretty sure its 9" off the top of my head. But to be sure I'll check for you.

 

Thanks Trophy!

 

Ok I lied. Good thing I double checked, fronts at 10.5" and rears are 12". Hope this helps.
