I finally installed my Weathertech mud flaps and they do rub just a hair at about 3/4 turn on both the driver and passenger side but not at full lock. Just enough to hear it and be annoying. I do have one size larger tires (275/60/20) and if it wasn't for that they would be fine. Not a big deal to me at all but did make the decision for me easier to go ahead and get a front end level now that I have an actual reason to besides looks. Pics below. First is wheels straight. Second is 3/4 turn and last two are full lock. Quality is top notch, they look great and installation was super easy. Only took me about 45 minutes for all 4.

Thanks!
Here are some pics with the Weathertechs I just installed yesterday. See post above for minor rubbing issues but they look great and seem to be high quality. That's my normal parking spot so all the dirt in the pics by my front tires is what ran off my running boards last week. The reason I got the flaps.

Those don't look bad at all. I don't LOVE the look but I like it a hell of a lot better than chipped up paint. Ordered a pair of the OEM today, should be here next week.

Anyone gotten these or similar ones? All I can find is what looks like drawings of it, not sure of the true color. I was thinking I could turn it around.

I also like the black with red lettering but wish you could get what you wanted put in writing or a logo.... I have a 2015 Race Red and just reviewing my options

I just installed the weathertech front and rear mudflaps, super easy. Fronts went on without a problem. Rears I had the husky wheel well liners already installed, just needed to get the hex locknut started on the screw then slip a 10mm open end wrench in to hold it while tightening with a philips #2. All four done in about 20-25 minutes.

I prefer the look without mudflaps and had planned to remove them in the spring, however they aren't very noticeable so I might leave them on year round.

I installed the weather tech mud flaps in less than 30 minutes. They look great and will protect from these tough northeast Ohio winters. Highly recommend them cheapest price I found was $30.99 at www.4wheelparts.com
Happy Holidays

Yes to mud flaps or shields. Protect your truck and your trailers from mud and rock chips, and protect others' windshields. They should be standard equipment on the truck, along with wheel liners.

Blacktop, you have the closest wheel setup to me I'm running 285/65/20 same tire and oem Plat rims . I've been looking at the weathertechs but doesn't look like a lot of room behind the fronts tires, how bad do you rub? I have a 2.5 AS front level not sure if this will help or not.
