I am planning on using semi truck flap hangers and welding the bar holder to the overload bracket that is bolted to the frame. The rearward bracket lines up perfectly to where the top of the flap should be and clears the inner liner. You must cut off the 90* bend though.
I have a F450 and I installed the Gatorbacks first and then installed the wheel well liners. The liners will have to be cut where the liner will fit behind the flaps.

I installed the GatorBack mud flaps on my F350 dually. They are bitchen. The GatorBacks mount up really super solid if you use their "no-drill" mounting kit. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. I needed no modification using theur mounting kit.
Thanks everyone for your post, I will be installing the gators next week using there no drill hardware, I think I can leave the wheel liner in and need to drill 2 holes ,

If I remember correctly you'll need to pop the wheel well liner out to install their no drill kit and then put it back in place. I had Gatorback "slot" my mudflaps so I didn't have to mess with them to get them level but I ended up slotting them a little bit more. The biggest complaint I had about the Gatorbacks was with the hardware they sent to use. It's good stuff but it's all stainless steel and stands out like a sore thumb. So I painted the washers and bought me some anodized black machine screws.
Got the Gators installed today, they went over the wheel well liners , had to drill liner (1" hole) to access 1 factory screw whis is the 1 picture, 2hours total with my sons help
I love them, no need to slot the flaps, I just drilled with a 3/8 bit, gave me enough play to adjust, they aredead straight. the picture makes them look off , but the truck tilts right on my driveway
Finally had some time to install these flaps, I used a semi truck hanger and welded that to the overload bracket. So far I'm happy with the result.
I do want to note that the Gatorback (and most flaps for the matter) are too short, so I lowered them using galvanized strap. I have about 8" off the road unloaded which is what I was aiming for.
I installed both rear wheel liners and the Gatorback flaps on my F450. I struggled with the decision of cutting the liner, or drilling the holes... in the end I opted to drill the holes. I think there were two holes needed if I remember correctly. It adds a few minutes to the install, but IMO looks better and it keeps dirt from getting behind the liner.
I have a set of Gatorback brackets ordered because the dealer mudflaps are basically hanging off the plastic liner.
The thing that scares me about the Gatorbacks, is that if you back up againg a curb or anything tall enough to hit the flap, you're gonna rip the fender off and probably kink up the bedside with the mudflap held on by 10+ bolts.
Mudflaps should pop off without damaging the truck.
Got the front flaps installed. Used the same method of spring steel semi bracket, but this time made two plates that sandwiched the frame. I really didn't want to drill the fender or frame, nor spend $300 for the Gator back brackets.
Super strong and best part, not attached in any way to the flimsy fenders.
