Mud Flaps
Truck Mud Flaps & Splash Guards
Mud flaps, or splash guards as they are commonly called, protect your truck and other vehicles on the road from debris thrown by tires. Daily driving exposes your tires to mud, water, tar, and other materials that can damage your truck or other vehicles.
While fender wells provide some protection, they can't extend fully behind your tires. Mud flaps, fender flares, and wheel well covers work together to minimize damage and prevent debris from hitting vehicles behind you.
Some states, like Ohio and Texas, require mud flaps by law, but there is no federal standard. Even if not required, mud flaps are highly beneficial for drivers in rainy, snowy, or sandy climates, or for those who frequently drive on gravel roads.

In Illinois, the law states: “No person may operate a vehicle, except a truck-tractor, outside of an urban area unless the vehicle is equipped with rear fender splash guards of either the contour or flap type that are attached to prevent the splashing of mud or water upon the windshield or other motor vehicles.”
Mud flaps are not just functional—they also allow you to showcase your style. Iconic designs, like the Mud Flap Girl, have become a symbol of American automotive culture. Commercial vehicles often feature branded flaps, though many spread debris onto highways, which can damage other vehicles and your own truck.
Types of Mud Flaps
Universal Flaps: Fit most trucks and commercial vehicles. Available in various sizes, styles, and lengths to accommodate dual wheels and achieve a customized look.
Custom Molded Flaps: Designed for a specific vehicle make, model, and trim. Most are no-drill and can be installed at home, offering a precise fit and professional appearance.
No-Drill Flaps: Ideal for aftermarket installations, using pre-drilled holes that align with your truck’s existing mounting points.
Brush Guard Flaps: Designed for towing trailers, boats, or RVs, spanning the full width of your vehicle to protect your towed equipment from road debris.
Kickback Flaps (Lifted Trucks): Kickback flaps are made for trucks with oversized tires. Popular brands like Husky Liners feature heavy-duty anti-spray material and an 18-gauge steel bracket to offset the flap for maximum coverage. Available in polished stainless or matte black finishes with weights pre-installed. Some drilling may be required for installation.
