How to keep dirt/water out of bottow door jam seal, other than huge mudflaps?
I always have a huge build up of road grime inside bottom door jamb.. I am starting to see rust starting and think I can stop it if I can keep all the dirt from settling there.. Anyone have ideas on this? It seems it comes in from the front corner.

You mean on the bottom of the truck's body on the outside, right? Have you tried either tire dressing or something like armorall? I know some guys use it in their wheel wells and it makes washing off the mud easier.

Thanks guys. it is a procomp 6" w/3" body, but the wheel hits the Tie rod extender at hard turn.. They are 35" bfgs, Looking to probably go 40s but will need wheel spacers for sure.. anyone make a 6 lug wheel spacer?
I have 18" wheels as well with 37" procomps, but they are shot and can not seem to find a reasonable priced tire for the 18" wheel.. Mickey thompson ATZs look to be about the best price, but still way expensive.
I am talking about the bottom inside of door, tires throw all the dirt/water between fender and door gap, clogging the inner gutter on bottom of door causing it to retain water and rust.. I clean and wax them often, I also tried spreading silicone over to stop rust, but that looks terrible.
It seems the water is thrown up in the seem between where bottom of fender meets door..
