Default Huskey liner or mud flaps what's first

Just purchased Huskey wheel well liners and Huskey mud flaps. Which do I install first. Thanks for your help.

No previous experience, but I would assume the wheel liners since they likely use the same 2-3 screw/bolt holes that your mud flaps will, and they'll be easier to set in place correctly without the flaps in the way.

Default What to install first--Wheel Well Guards or Mud Guards?

We suggest installing Wheel Well Guards (WWG's) first, then the mud guards. Some mud guard installs may use a screw(s) and these fasteners can make WWG alignment more difficult. If you have already installed the mud guards, you can back out the screw(s) part way and then re-tighten. It is okay if the screw(s) attach to the WWG's--this just makes things more secure.

I had a bad experience installing Husky wheel liners on my 2016. Over 3 hours wasted for passenger side due to the liner being cut poorly. Remember to align behind the metal lip and make yourself a stiff drink just in case installation takes longer than anticipated!

my recommendation is to both at the same time.


I did the husky wheel liners first and basically had to remove them to install my gatorback mudflaps.

Thought they were supposed to be an easy install...Maybe I should go factory??

Every aftermarket part company will tell you it is an easy install. Usually it is ... for them because they know exactly what they are doing and can quickly determine if there is a problem with the part.

But, if it is Joe Blow, an easy install can become a PITA if anything isn't just right.

I have heard pros and cons on the liners, they keep debris out and the hold debris in the crevices. Any opinions on this?
