Mudflap Systems for Trucks

Last Update: October 1, 2023
Rock Tamers offer convenient, fully adjustable hitch mount mud flaps for trucks with 2”, 2.5”, and 3” hitch receivers. These complete mud flap systems feature everything needed to assemble the ultimate protection solution for what you tow. Rock Tamers mud flaps are more than your stock mud flaps, designed for heavy-duty towing.

There are three options of hitch-mount mud flaps available at Rock Tamers. Their precisely designed system allows you to adjust your mud flaps the way you need for your specific truck and your towable. If you do not want your vehicle and towable to get damaged by flying rocks and road debris, consider the protection before it’s time to tow. Rock Tamers mud flap systems adjust vertically and horizontally for precise fit and maximum coverage.

 

Rock Tamers understands that mud flaps tend to wear out with time, so any component of the mud flap system can be purchased separately and replaced. So, buying an all-new mud flap system is unnecessary, as you can fix your mud flaps when some components get worn out. Note that a limited 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship backs up Rock Tamers mud flaps. However, normal wear and tear is typical for all parts and is not a reason for a warranty claim. But you can always contact customer care to clarify the situation and figure out a way that will be fair for everyone.

Why You Need Heavy-Duty Mud Flaps

These two pictures clearly explain what happens between your truck and towable when you move. Air whirl appears, and road debris and particles get between the car and the towable. When the vehicle’s rear end is not protected, the particles damage the paint and may cause dents and dings, leading to rust and corrosion.

When the rear wheels of a towable rotate, they tend to collect rocks and debris in the wheel tread. These objects, influenced by the centrifugal force, may fly out of the wheel tread and cause damage to the towable. Repairing such damage can be quite expensive, particularly when it comes to rust and corrosion caused by dents and chips. Often, these repairs involve welding, cutting, shaving, trimming, prep, and a paint job.

 

These two aspects clearly explain why it is better to install a set of quality heavy-duty hitch-mounted mud flaps and forget about all the hassle and potential problems that may occur unexpectedly. Hitch-mounted mud flap systems are easily removable, and installation is quick enough. It means you can install your mud flaps when you tow something and remove them when you do not need extra protection for your truck’s rear end. If you select heavy-duty mud flaps, you will be covered for a long time, as almost any part of the mud flap system can be replaced when worn out or damaged.
