Has anyone found a hitch mounted mud flap for a 3" hitch? The largest I can find is 2.5"

 

2.5” Rock Tamers were the biggest I could find. After using them for several months I mounted them on the garage wall, where they will likely stay henceforward.

 

Were you able to mount them? I assumed the 2.5 would not fit on a 3" hitch.

 

you can use the reducer

 

It mounts to the drawbar, which as it happens is 2.5”. I use a Blue Ox WDH which is only 2.5”.
I have decided the 3” receiver amounts to a bragging rights kind of thing as there is virtually no support for it. I eventually welded a 2.5” sleeve into the 3” receiver and it works much better now.

 

I was looking for this too. I got rid of all my 2" hitches and bought a nice b&w 3". I don't like the reducer. More slop and one more thing rolling around in the back of the truck. I love my 3" but not much support for it.

 

Why and are they for sale?

 

They proved too inconvenient for me, more than anything else.
One of the guys was pulling a camper and just before arriving at the dealer, he hit a chunk of metal in the road. It flew up and hit the front of the camper, leaving a good sized gash. The dealer refused delivery and the driver didn't get paid for pulling it out and he had to pay to have it hauled back since he couldn't do it himself (don't know why). Anyway, I thought the Rock Tamers would be relatively cheap insurance against something like that happening to me, so I bought them. It was then that I learned they are not easy to put on and take off, and even if you go to the work of taking them off, they are big - too big to fit in the bed of the truck along with a tool box and fifth wheel hitch. To get proper coverage on a dually it is necessary for the bars and flaps to stick out wider than the bumper so it isn't hard to catch them on stuff (I never did, but came close), and easy to walk into in the dark (I did that more than once). They also interfere with the back up sensors nearest the license plate.
They work really well, there's no doubt. The fronts of TTs and fivers arrived cleaner when I had the flaps installed than they do without. The other day I ran over a good sized tree branch that came out of nowhere. Fortunately it didn't bounce up and hit the camper, but I certainly was thinking about those Rock Tamers and how much good they were doing hanging on the wall!
I haven't really thought about selling them, but I suppose I could.

 

I have RockTamer, for a 2.5 inch shank, which matches up to my F250. It is easy to remove the mudflaps from the bracket, leaving the bracket attached to the drawbar. I did replace the plastic end cap nut and bolt with a quick release pin. So now I simply loosen 3 captive hex head bolts and slide the bar out. Takes maybe 30 seconds.
