Thats the thing, mine rubs at full lock, rear are no problems but its the front Im worried about. I might have to do some trimming... I was going to put my OEM back on but then I would have to spend like $1300 on new tires for them. I would rather spend a few hundred on mudflaps and then just spend $1-2 every week at the car wash & rinsing the rims off. Even if I don't wash the truck Ill still clean/rinse the rims. Im pretty hardcore when it comes to keeping my truck clean in the winter anyway lol

Where did you get the air hawks again? What size? They are rubber not plastic right? How do they hold up with winter, ice/slush etc.

I bought mine from Pinewood Ford for $300.00 Taxed in and Installed but pretty much any of are truck accessories stores sells them, I never checked anywhere else had pinewood ford install them becuase there covered under my warranty etc!! They are a thick heavy rubber, probably 1/2"'thick with a stainless trim cover, hold up great in the winter and flexible if you back over a curve vs plastic, they also use heavy duty hangers that bolt to the box for added support vs just screwing into the box side!! Oh and I lied lol my Toyo tires rub on the front flap mounting screws but nothing major!!,

I have the Ford mudflaps on my truck as well, while sporting BFG KO2 285/65-20's. They fit perfect using stock wheels.

I also noticed most guys that have mud flaps are from Canada. Is it a law there that ones truck MUST have mud flaps?

Its only if your tires stick out a certain amount, but most have them because like said the winter slush, snow, salt, ice etc.

PDP mudflaps. Don't bend and flop in the wind and they hold up offroad.

Did you have any rubbing on your UCAs? I have the same truck with Fox 2.0s all around (coilovers up front, leveled) and have 275/60R20s on now but want 285/65/20...any rubbing at all? Issues with speedometer not being correct?

Thanks in advance!
