Mud flaps of the tow vehicle

[Ken J]

Got a question for you Enkay folks - how much of the hitch bar does the Enkay Flap take up - I want to use them for a utlility trailer too and is the isn't much room on the bar -

It needs 2" of space on the bar sticking out from the receiver. Beware - some drop bars have a triangle of steel to support the drop and from above may look like you have room but in reality the space below is used for this support.

Clancy Boy you are right on with your observations as to proper installation regarding the flap's height above the ground.

Duraflap Custom Mud Flaps installed today…
For Ford F-250 Superduty 4x2, standard suspension.

Custom order: 2XL FR cut down… 12" hangs below tire well.
Resulting in 7" clearance from ground… unhitched.
I expect about 5 ½" clearance when hitched.
Husband & wife team/owners of Duraflap very helpful with custom order.
They met Rich Luhr at AS International Rally in Salem last year.

Clancy boy is correct re: problems if not enough clearance from ground.
2" or less from ground creates vacuum that pulls up road dust/debris.

I like the idea of this possibly being the only flaps that I will need…
And not worrying about attaching & removing Enkays each time.
And reducing pebbles/rocks thrown up on others who follow me.
But if needed, I can always add Enkays later to hitch.

hi silvergate and thanks for posting the pic...

IS YOUR TRAILER BUILT YET?

i like the duraflaps but don't have them...

i'm a fan of the double redundant mudflaps...

using the enkays and husky mud flaps...

a nice feature of the husky flaps is they are custom molded for each configuration...

so they fit the super duty like a glove...

Mud Guards

and are on full time...

while the enkays are just for towing...

the 2 compliment each other and stop more stuff...

even critters...

Has anyone tried the Blue Ox Sport Guard mud flap? These are similar to Enkay's in that they slide over the ball mount shank. They are priced similar to Enkay's.

Just got new DuraFlap mud flaps for my 2016 GMC 2500. I'd like to compliment the company on their customer service in helping me get just the right ones for my truck and on the quality of the product.

Love them!

Took me about an hour to install all four. Packaging was good. Instructions were good. Look is great to me.

Thanks Duraflap!
