They offer mud flaps for trucks with and without OEM flairs, they will get in the way if your flaps are for trucks without flairs.....

I have Ford OEM mud flaps for trucks without flares, you can order flaps for trucks with flares, I remember the dealer asking me, but I don't know if you can mod the flaps to fit the flares. You wouldn't want to mod the flairs to fit....IMO....



this pic is w/o flares, the flares would add about another inch to the outside of the fender....not leaving room for the rap around portion of the mud flap




you will have to reorder flaps for trucks with flares.

How did you install the oem flares? Did you have a template for drilling? I drilled the 4 under fender holes, removed the clips from the top arc and put 3m double sided tape on all of the existing top arc mount surfaces.

No flapping in the wind yet and it's been around 3 months.
