I don't know his were heavy duty since he had a dually and would pick up big crap on job sites. He also had a stake bed which made it easier to hook up.
So unless they are plastic They will move.

A guy I know drilled a small hole in the bottom of his flaps.
He than would hook a bungy into them and pull them up when he had to back up on un-level ground or where something might catch it.
Takes a while to get used to it, and it's sort of a pita getting out and hooking them up.
But it was better than fixing flaps every weekish.
Or in this case body damage.
I need to do the same thing myself, ripped one off a while back and haven't put it back on.

I was going to take a picture of the underside of my truck but forgot to last night.
I think they sit too low and you can see where I have plowed mud with the front axle and the transfer case.
So I think they need a little more height and the mudflap remedy.

I just realized that you guys may not be able to see the picture because I didn't make it "Public" on Picassa. Anyway, that is fixed. Now I just need my truck back! I called the repair place and he told me it took them longer to repair the hip. I thought it was going to be removed and replaced! I hope they did a good job and it holds up. Sure seems like it would have been a whole lot less labor to just remove and replace. They are supposed to paint it today and I should have my baby home tomorrow.
golfmedik, I like the cable idea. Of course, this wouldn't have helped me in this case since I didn't realize I was backing into a dangerous area.
