Choose a Color and Design for Head-Turning Mud Flaps
Many truckers enjoy using their mud flaps to jazz up their trucks, match a new paint job, or show off their personal interests. Here at Raney's Trucks Parts, we offer a wide range of colors, shapes, and printed designs to choose from. Pick your perfect front and rear mud flap replacements when it comes time to update the ones that came with your truck.
Poly or Rubber: Which Type of Mud Flap Is Right for Your Truck?
We carry both rubber and poly mud flaps, two durable options offering slightly different features. Flexible rubber that can handle thousands of cycles of flexing and bending without breaking, staying close to your rear tires to stop fine sprays of water, sand, and dust. For mudflaps that don't bend as much when hit with heavy gravel and other larger pieces of debris, consider semi-rigid polypropylene.
Other Essential Mud Flap Features
Consider the attachment options for the mud flaps you choose. Most models feature multiple mounting patterns to fit a wide range of trucks, but some may match specific truck brands.
Flaps with textured grooves channel away snow, mud, and dirt, keeping cleaner with less work from you. Spraying the flaps down during routine stops will keep them looking like new.
Aerodynamic mud flaps are another option for truckers who don't want to use anti-sail brackets. You'll still get the spray-stopping power of solid flaps, but allowing the air to travel through the material keeps them from flapping up and tossing debris to hit vehicles following closely behind you.
DOT Requirements for Mud Flaps
Mud flaps are an important component for DOT compliance because the strength of semi truck wheels can displace a lot of gravel, snow, ice, or other debris. This material flies backwards due to the force of the tires gripping it, hitting vehicles or structures behind your truck.
The DOT requires mud flaps on all trucks without a design that covers their rear wheels. They must have a width at least as wide as the tires and should end somewhere between 6 and 14 inches from the ground, depending on state regulations.
