I have front mud flaps I like the symmetrical part plus like Gig said keeps the crap off of the step. But my truck is like a car I can't even slide under on a creeper, it is the lowest truck I have ever owned.

How would you guys interpret this regulation? Does it sound like you need them on every wheel or just the rear wheels?
There's still about 11" from the bottom of the mudflap to the ground so I probably have enough clearance. I'll leave it for now and trim later if required.

To me it looks like you need them on each wheel. Around these parts I would think if you had them on the rear only you would be OK. No idea what the law enforcers are like up your way.

It's happened to a few of my friends already, although they also have 10"+ lifts and possibly may have been operating the vehicle in a not-so-safe manner and probably got off lucky with "just" a mudflap and window tint ticket. Either way I don't necessarily want to attract that kind of attention.

Maybe the F-150's are more supportive in the back than the F250's!

I like the tires, I think it looks great, well done! 
I just got the tires in for my project truck and they are way too small.
I tried to be cheap and got 285/70-17s and they are barely 32", the specs. said they are 32.8".....but they were only $260 and free shipping.

So I just placed an order for some 315/70-17s.....$310 each with free shipping, they are the same size as 35s but cost $90 less per tire.

The 35s are $400 a pop.

I am going to ship the tires back through the co. I work for, they give employees free ground shipping as a perk.
I'm keeping the wheels!!!
@Savage - I hope you have an awesome camping trip.
.....I know, I should have got the bigger tires in the first place. Doh!

Some random pics from our weekend.
Engineered Air sponsored and we hosted a little GTG.
They have been trying to give us this plaque since 2011
(not sure how my daughter sneaks into every picture)
Had a few beer
Ate a few steaks
And did some fishing
Great weather and a good first weekend of the summer
Keep 'em coming
Have a great week guys
