If I remember, they make them one off. Not sold through a distributor.
If you notice, there are 8 Allen screws that adjust to the irregularities of each receiver sides. Makes for a perfect level and tube fit.
Engraving was offered in the weight plates for 75 bucks. The weight plates come in polished stainless. I flipped them over to the brushed side to match the trim on my truck.
OP,
IMO,
Drilling pin holes in your receiver mount tube will create a weak spot in an area that shouldn’t be tampered with.
Yeah I wouldn’t drill holes in hitches either. It’s probably fine if you tow light but when that hitch is maxed out extra holes are definitely not going to help with stresses on the hitch.

Thanks for sharing that info. Can you post a close up pic of how they attach to the hitch? Thanks again!

Just got a reply back from the fab shop, $475 plus $50 shipping. Thinking I'll pass at that price. I have a welder and grinder and shop tools, I'll try to fab my own.

Nice looking setup, and certainly much easier/quicker install than the hitch mounted Rockstar flaps that I use. But with the easy on comes easy off, too. I think that I'd want the ability to lock them in place if the truck was ever going to sit unattended with them installed...as mine does when traveling.
Those flaps are a nice set up! Thanks for the detailed pics, I was a little concerned about the clamp holding them but the fact that it clamps over the flange on the hitch makes them look really secure.
I admit, I too will probably plagairize this design and build my own for a lot less. These look like a much better solution than Rock Tamers on the hitch.

GerogeC,
I ordered a set this morning. With the Tremor package, I requested a little longer mud flap, we’ll see how it turns out.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Do you recall how long it took to receive your mud flaps?

Patriot, I actually cut about 2” off of mine. I think you would be ok with their standard design.
Shipped in 3 weeks if I remember.
Others, once the clamp is snapped on, it’s not coming off.
If you are worried about theft, a simple hose clamp over the handle would make a thief work for it.
Our Marina is pretty safe. No issues.

George,
Thanks for the feedback, my Tremor sits just a little higher than the stock F250/350 1-2” higher I believe. So I was thinking it might need a little longer flap. I did talk to the owner and sent him photos with measurements. I am 20 inches from the bottom edge of the receiver tube to the concrete drive. He has done several sets I believe, so I am counting on him to look at the measurements and get me where I need to be in flap length. Thanks again for the help with this upgrade. Great looking Limited by the way!
Got the arms made, drilled and tapped. Pick up mud flaps tomorrow. Will finish cleaning and prepping this weekend, and be ready to paint and attach flaps. All for less than $100

Looking good man. Post pics on how you mount the flap to the bracket.
