Mudflaps- Molded or Rubber?

Hey Moosehead,

 

I'm going to install the molded mud guards on my 2015 F350 KR. It won't get used for hardcore fourwheeling (I have a Jeep for that) other than using it to haul hay bales out of the pasture. Here is my thought though, if you are going to be pulling a trailer over unimproved roads then I would install the large rubber mud flaps as they are going to do the best job in deflecting the gravel etc. provided you add some weight to the bottom of the flaps to reduce "sailing". As they are pliable there shouldn't be any clearance issues either. But if you're just after minimal protection and don't get off road much then the molded mud guards will do fine. Admit it, these trucks have a tendency to get stuck in a hurry, at least that has been my experience.

I have a 14 gmc reg cab long bed 4wd.I put oem molded flaps on mine and before 3500 miles the paint was missing down to the primer on tbe front of the box. Returned them and got weather techs flaps and had to modify the front to eliminate all signs of tire discharge. That and amoung other reasons I am parting with this gmc truck and getting a 15 super duty. Looking at the ford molded flaps they are to short to protect the sides completely. for some that may be acceptable I live in the middle of a six mile dirt road that goes over the blue ridge mountain and anything less than full body coverage is unacceptable to me
