Has anyone put any type of rear mud-flaps on their truck. Do they make any kind that are a direct bolt in. I just purchased the ones from GO Industries and do not really like the way they mount. Are there any other good brands - do not want ones that are 20 bucks - looking for other quality pieces. Anyone with any advice would be appreciated.

Putco makes a nice set of stainless ones. There's a picture of them on my truck in my link in my sig look under "Big Dually". I didn't drill the truck but I did drill a hole or 2 on the mud flap to match up with factory bolts

I have switched to OEM black molded rear flaps which fit in better and higher in the wheel well, also a picture in my sig under "Smokin". They both look good.
Just don't back into a curb or any deep mud cuz if you pinch the mud flap against the wheel and a hard object it could crack your fender.

I like the factory flaps,Direct bolt on!

"Just don't back into a curb or any deep mud cuz if you pinch the mud flap against the wheel and a hard object it could crack your fender." :o:

Exactly why I went with the rubber flaps with stainless steel weights. Several times I have backed into parking spaces and had the flaps drag. I had them installed by an aftermarket shop, sorry I'm not certain which brand they ordered.

I do like the look of the molded OEM flaps with the Chevy logo. Maybe I'll get me a couple of those stainless "Big T'd Babes" for my flaps. :D JJ :)

Mud -:t are you crazy! Me back into deep mud,Pfffff :D

The flaps on my truck with the 235's sit up high enough to miss all of the curbs it's seen.I'm pretty cautious nonetheless

"The flaps on my truck with the 235's sit up high enough to miss all of the curbs it's seen."

Uh-oh, the dreaded curse Mackin!:eek: Best to knock on wood 3 times, stand on one foot, and say "I love my mud flaps" 3 times as fast as you can! ;) Just hope we're not too late to save them flaps! ):h JJ :)

Ya mine are up high enuf for curbs too.

But sometimes plowing in the winter I get a little nervous :( about backing into a small snow bank to turn around.

And if all else fails you could always trim the bottom an inch or three to get a little more ground clearance.


On my 93 Dually I had a diffrent style flap the was attatched to a piece of angle iron, that then bolted to the frame. So when I backed up in some mud -:t I pinched the flap against the wheel and luckilly only bent the angle iron and didn't cause any damage to the fender since it wasn't directlly attatched. ;)
BUT if the same thing happened now, the fender would be history.:eek:

So I'm with Mack "No Mud for you" :D

Here's mine.... They are Dee Zee's I think...or maybe Putco's..

Black05DMax,

Nice truck, looks even nicer riding atop that Kentucky bluegrass! :ro) My flaps look a lot like yours, I don't have the SS tops though just the bottom weights. I back into a lot of parking spaces and often the flaps will ride up over the concrete parking stops. I would have crunched the OEM's long ago. :o: Later. JJ :)

The only thing I have ever hit a flap on is a tree stump in my yard. My wife says it's a curse because she didn't want me to cut the tree down but I did anyways and she said untill I plant her another tree I will forever have mudflap problems. :D

To anyone who would like to see, I have added pictures to my signature link of what I am calling "temporary" mudflaps from Enkay. Very nice heavy duty units. I like they they are set back further to eliminate any rocks from hitting the trailer in tow(Primarily my boat as I do not want to chip my gel coat). The only thing I will change is the flaps bolt into the holder at the hitch, I am going to stud the holder so I add a nut rather than try and screw in a big bolt.

Other than that no chance of backing up and hitting something that could crack the fender.

Nice set up
