SRW Gatorback flaps
Spent a couple hours reading posts on mudflaps and people's recommendations. I would really appreciate any first hand experience on the two questions below for gatorback mudflaps on a SRW F350 with snow plow springs and 20" tires:
- will the gatorbacks clear tires if you upsize to 295-65-20 without a lift
- do the gatorbacks "flex" some when off-roading and rubbing brush/sticks, etc. (I ve had molded flaps on past trucks and did not like their stiffness)
Thx for any experience/input any of you can share !

Can't help with the tire size, as I have whatever 18" wheels and tires came on my SRW F250. I do have the Gatorback mudflaps in the rear, Weathertech in the front. The front ones are the molded type you refer to, but the rear Gatorbacks are 3/8" to 1/2" thick rubber that should flex just fine.

Now that it's dark out I couldn't tell you, but I believe they hang a bit lower, are quite a bit wider. I got them to keep gravel from being thrown against the trailer I've got on order. Hopefully it'll do just that.
