Question:
I like these flaps but want assurances that they do not interfere with the proximity sensors on the bumper for backing up. Also I do not see any specs on the weight of the assembly. Id like to compare weight of the rock guard flaps as well

Since you will be adding an obstacle next to the rear sensors on your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty the Access Rockstar XL Custom Mud Flaps # A10100221 could very likely set off the proximity sensors.
These mud flaps weigh about 45 lbs and the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System # ERT00108 weighs slightly over 30 lbs.
To ensure that your rear sensors are not set off by your mud flaps I recommend installing permanent mud flaps. We have the WeatherTech Mud Flaps # WT120031 if you have factory add-on fender flares or the WeatherTech Mud Flaps # WT120020 if you do not have the add-on fender flares. Both mud flaps options offer an easy installation that does not require drilling.
Installation instructions for all 4 options have been linked for you to reference.
