And in sport mode they can drag on the ground.

It doesn't need them. Underside of the truck has no painted surfaces.
And here I thought that tall vehicles with mud flaps had them to be considerate and avoid kicking up rocks in the windshield of the car behind them...

My 22s don't really pick up many rocks. Guess I haven't thought about that. Rock flaps are a completely different thing though, aren't they?

The mudflap style pictured in the first post are not installed by people thinking they're being "considerate".

After doing a full hand wash last week, and scrubbing THREE TIMES on the black plastic lowers along the rockers in an attempt to get rid of all the crud flung up, these are something I'm considering (IF they make a version without the stupid "F YO PAINT" hole).

Dunno about the rest of you, but I have to drive on dirt roads every day due to where I live, and it does a number on your paint. Even the plastic rocker covers get beat up.

Well you now need to add an additional disclaimer that you are not responsible for any wildfires started due to the mudflaps.
I already have an disclaimer. Please read it. :D

I don't understand all the hate on the mud flaps/splash guards. They prevent marring of the soft plastics below the doors and help keep the truck looking clean. If they drag the ground in low/lowest settings, that's a different issue. Seems like Rally Armor has done a pretty good job of fitting into the uniqueness of the truck (open area for aero on the front guards) and keeping them "no-drill". I'm gonna try a set and see how they work out... (flame suit on - :CWL:)
