Is anyone running gators kickbacks

hey guys, is anyone running the kick backs on a truck without flares, I can’t seem to find anything for them, I’m going the gator route. But without the kick backs I’ll rub and don’t know how to make them mount flush since the lip isn’t square truck is a 2019 2” bds leveling kit on 35-12.5-18s with fuel rims at a +1 offset

You need to have the no drill brackets along with the offsets. You would install the no drill brackets and use those a mounting surface for the offsets brackets. The first pic is a Super Duty with 14" wide flaps, the last two pics show what an install would look like in the wheel well. This is an F-150 but the install on a Super Duty is going to be very similar.

These are also 12" wide offset brackets they will work with any of the 12" wide flaps.
There is a 14" wide option available as well to get you extra flap and bracket coverage outside the wheel well. You can find those here, https://www.sharptruck.com/gatorback...ruck-mud-flaps









Here is a 12" offset bracket installed,

thanks but how do you make the bracket mount flat on a truck without flares? and is there anything that goes behind the bracket so it doesn’t rub through the fender? I’ve seen some people shim it with rubber trim?

There should not be an issue with the bracket and flap mounting flat. The flares are going to be no more than 1/8" thick. When you snug the offset bracket tight to the no drill bracket it will be held tight in place and they will not be crooked. This will also prevent any rubbing that would occur if there was play between the brackets.
