Mud flap anti-flappers

[David Muench]

I just put a set of cheapo NAPA rubber mudflaps on the back of my dually flatbed. The one on the exhaust side gets blown up and over the exhaust pipe, and ends up sitting on there. It's not melting, but I just put on a Jardine exhaust and once I get the stainless tip, that flap will mess it up good. . Any suggestions? Bolting some strap steel to the frontside vertically to make the flap more rigid? Some bar attached to the flatbed sticking down to keep them from blowing backwards? Or do those weights work? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What a friend of mine did was go to Home Depot and Purchase a chrome bottom door kick, it measures about 10" wide and 36in long, you could cut and mount it on the back side of the flaps, giving you a nice chrome look from the back of the truck with the flap extending down past the chrome by say 2 or 3 inches... it looks great and relatively cheap, not to mention that it ads alot of rigidity to the flap on the exhaust side. I thought it was pretty smart of him... just an idea...

I ordered a 10" extension from Jardine. Insert it before the last section It is flared on one end ,you can cut the pipe to suit your needs. I installed mine with 20" flaps from NW custom.

Got anti-sail brackets and lower weights from a truck supply co. These babies don't move and look pretty good if I do say so myself!
