Rock Chips...flaps, flares, etc

I put on a set of BFG TKOs that are proving to be perfect at making rock chips in my new paint! Anybody have some suggestions on flares or mud flaps for the front fenders?

Re: Rock Chips...flaps, flares, etc

you can make some like this out of plain old flat sheet aluminum, and then paint em any color you want.

I can't find any made custom for our trucks, and I'll be needing some too as im about to get some TA KO's and im widening the wheel track 4"

I may make something up like these




I like these too

I've already been there with the BFG's, I put a set on my V20 when it was still a 1/2 ton and started cussing the rock chips the next day. Unless you don't mind if you have mudflaps that almost touch the ground you will have chips going all the way back to the front of the rear wheel openings. If I had known how bad they threw gravel I would not have bought them in the first place.

78Chevyrado as nice as your truck looks I wouldn't let those tires get near it!
