What kind of Mudflaps?

I have BFG 315's on my 2005 Dodge. What kind of mudflaps do you guys recommend?

I've got the Mopar molded plastic mudflaps on my truck right now. I'm not a fan of the generic rubber mud flaps. I really didn't want them but was forced into putting them on. You'll find that the BFG is some of the rock throwing'est tires out there. The area behind each wheel was taking a beating.

They have helped, but they do not give complete wheel coverage width wise (as they were probably designed for a stock wheel).

I made my own. I got about $40.00 in them. I think they turned out pretty nice.

I've got the Mopar Heavy Duty Rubber Flaps. I have the stock tire size and they work really well. I can't comment on how they'd do with bigger tires. Take a look at my gallery for photos.

Good Luck.

The Mopar molded flaps rub off the paint. I took mine off and put flares on.

Husky Molded Flaps

I have the same 315s and 2" leveling kit. I have had the Husky Molded flaps on for about a year now. They are same as Dodge, but with 3m tape to keep paint from rubbing. They do pretty good job of protecting the rocker panels.

I made mine out of diamond plate stock. I'd send you the pattern but I just made them big enuff to shield the stock 265's. Don't really like the look of BIG flaps. Actually, I generally don't like them at all but the stock BFG's pick up pea gravel terrible.

Well now I need a set of flaps, after reading this yesterday, I took a good look at mine, aw crap, but you guys are right, those bfg tires really throw the rocks.
I would really appreciate it if you could post more pics, I am kinda wanting to go with diamond plate, or stainless, but we don't have muck for aftermarket here so any ideas and pictures will help. i would also like to see or hear what you guys are doing to protest your fromt fenders as far as flaps, cause they are taking a beating too, and when winter hits snow, and slush will be quite a heart ache.
Thanks all Joe.

The Website for Northwest Custom has the wrong phone number. Jason has been so busy, he hasn't upgraded his website in years.

Here are Jason's phone numbers.

Shop 509-283-2171
Cel. 509-995-8919
