How long is too long for mud flaps?
I have an 06 2500 w/ leveling kit and 315's and am about to make a set of custom mud flaps. I know that I gained a few inches with the leveling kit and tires but I am trying to decide how low I can hang these custom flaps below the body panels without the risk of eating them up if I back through deep snow or mud. Any ideas? I was thinking 8-10"+-

I got all sorts of technical when I put mine on. I put a tangent line on the rear tire that cleared the rear rocker panel. Then mounted the flaps so the bottom was on that line. This way the body of the truck is protected. My concern wasn't for trailers or the windshield of anybody riding too close to my rear bumper. Protect my stuff, let the rest fend for itself

My tires do rub slightly when I crank the wheel. I had hoped they wouldn't but it isn't really an issue until I have to pull a U-turn.
