Front mud flaps
I'm looking at trying to mount my front mud flaps with a bracket under the truck. I have them mounted normally in the wheel well but my tires rub. Does anybody have any pictures or suggestions as to how they mounted theirs. Thanks for any suggestions.

I use and sell Husky molded mud flaps and they don't give me those issues. However, if your using flat rubber ones, you could just mount a stainless Steel piece of angle (L channel) under the cab with rivots and then rivot the mud flap to the angle.

I just mounted up the flat ones my self and noticed how close the fronts come to contact with the wheels turned. Seems someone could take a heat gun to the flat ones and conture them to our inner fenders. They dip away from the inner fender lip a good 1 1/2 inches or so. They wouldnt be flat but the rub would be gone and no gap behind flap would keep em cleaner. Mine dont rub now but will with 1/2 inch of ice on them. Husky flaps have a nice contured look but are narrow and not available with a deep drop for protection. No rub intended..
