Thanks guys!!

I never even thought to check the rear caps. But I thought they looked like they might clear. But they didnt. They tapper a bit, and hit about a 1/2 inch from seating up against the WMS

I have signatures turned off

I scroll fast and read fast and a lot of times I get caught reading signatures thinking it has something to do with the thread and getting confused

No I do not. I tried trimming them to not hit the tires, and they still did. So I tossed them.

You could always copy my $10 front flaps that will keep everything off the side of your truck.

the molded splash guards keep plenty off of the nasty off the sides and look great (once painted to match)

I know they would work for Russ IF he could get past the looks. Lol
