Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2" Hitches - Matte Black
I recently added a 6-inch lift and larger tires to my truck. The tires stick out approximately one inch outside of the wheel well. This immediately increased the amount of rocks I was slinging every time I pulled out of my 400-yard-long gravel driveway. We bought a travel trailer and the last thing I wanted to do was sling rocks at it non-stop or take the chance of busting a window. We all know how high the RV tech labor rates are. I opted for this product to prevent a more expensive issue down the road. The pros: They work as you'd expect them to. They are adjustable, both in height and width. You can shorten the actual flaps by cutting them and a hole punch is provided to create new bolt holes. They are easily removed when not in use. The cons: Whoever wrote the directions may have been half asleep. In one step they'd say do something one way, then the next step another way. Super confusing but most of us can figure out how to install them. The flaps are not attractive to the eye but they get the job done. They are overpriced but I convinced myself to purchase them by knowing if it saves one puncture to the front hull of my camper or one busted window, they've paid for themselves. I'd buy them again, even though I'd still mumble under my breath how much they are overpriced.
Good product in its ability to keep things from damaging the front of what you're towing. My problem was a chronic loosening of the set bolts on the bottom of the mount bracket. I tried re-toruqing and using locktite multiple times but the problem persisted...only took a few miles for the mount to loosen up and the flaps would stop flopping around. The fix my buddy finally came up with was a clamp that we had fabricated by a welding shop. This completely fixed the problem of a loose mount. I've had it on for a couple thousand miles now on interstate, two-lane, and a lot of miles on dirt and other unimproved roads and the mount stays tight...no more "flap flopping". Rock Tamers should include a clamp with each purchase and given this are expensive (but worth it except for the flopping) they should include it at no charge. My two cents...hope it helps someone else with similar problems.

Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2-1/2" Hitches - Matte Black
These, Rock Tamers perform as advertised! We were looking for some type of defectors when on dirt roads and when hauling our Fifth-wheel. The installation is easy and allows us to change the angle and length as needed. Great purchase and owning them a year has shown how much additional piece of mind having them, has been.
Regretting buying them. The high quality stainless steel was rusted out of the box. Box was missing hardware and one of the pieces that hold the mud flap was bent. It appears it was a return that they pawned off on me. I’m pretty disappointed and will box everything back up and sell it for a loss and shop somewhere else.

"Thanks for the great service. The order arrived at my doorstep yesterday afternoon. Thank you for making sure the order was complete. I installed the hitch and wire kit last night with no problems. The instructions were perfect. Bruce"
