My rockers tend to get hammered and was wondering if mudflaps will help or if the rockers still get just as bad with them?

when i first bought my truck i had them on, they did help. i used to sell a ton of the Husky Liner ones to contractors. they loved em. also they fit the best hands down!!

they help on the trailers too. my cargo trailer was hammered with rocks from the van tires, and the camper started getting them too when I was pulling it with the van. Once we got the truck with mudflaps, no new rock dentss

I just put my Duraflaps back on the front after having them off for about a year. The rockers are definitely staying much cleaner (stone driveway tests it every time it rains).

I live on a dirt road and have to use mudflaps to save the paint on my truck. I have running boards and they save my rockers. To save the rear behind the rear wheels I have the factory mudflaps that I added rubber flaps to the bottom. To keep the stones off you have to run the flaps really close to the ground. The closer to the ground you get the further back it will protect.

I made my own flaps they are 12" wide and hang ~6-7" off the ground. That is as low as you can go or they hit the curb if you have to go over them. I have very few rock chips and BFG MT through some large rocks.
