Which Mud Flaps ??
I have noticed that when driving in mud, snow or even just on the wet highway that a lot of mud etc gets under my factory step, and inside the rear bumper.Would mud flaps help with this problem ?? I've seen several around and on trucks but haven't had the chance to discuss this with the owners so I'm asking here. And if so is there one brand or type that is best ??
I know a lot of you out there have a lot of experience and can answer my question.
Thanks

I agree with BADFORD. I just put a set of Husky's on my '02 F250 SD. They even include 3M film to cover the paint under the part of the mud gaurd that contacts the paint. Really slick install. I got mine on the web (autoanything.com) for 60 bucks the pair plus 5 bucks shipping.

Just some added information about the husky flaps; talked with my "truck accessories guy" and he said husky has not yet come out with mud flaps for an '05 with the Lariat wheel lip moldings. He said they will work with the King Ranch moldings, but will not match up with the Lariat's. Husky is aware of the problem. Anyone hear anything about this issue??? Can't wait to install some mud flaps driving in the slush and snow in the NE!

go with Duraflaps
Go with Duraflaps. I have looked carefully at all the options (including buying a set of Husky flaps) and the Duraflap is by far the best in my opinion. The are custom tailered to fit your vehicle with out drilling on the truck. Husky claims to do this but not only did I think that the Husky flaps look cheap on a $40k truck (sorry guys) but the install on my 2005 f250 definitiely required drilling etc. The flap themselves are far move rugged and offer various stainless inserts which I could only find elsewhere in a "universal fit" flap. Furthermore, the rear flaps extend up inside the rear fender about 10 inches and hence offer quite a bit of protection to the underside of the bed etc. that seems to be a concern shared by a lot of folks since Ford eliminated the fender liners. I did put the Husky flaps on my rear end temporarily as they were the best I cold get my hands on in a hurry for a long distance tow. I wonder if Dieselman (mentioning proflaps) was really intending to recommend duraflaps as a google for proflaps turned up nothing. Similarly, Duraflaps are made in Oregon and are "not cheap." see http://www.duraflap.com . I have no association with these people. I'm just a happy customer.
