Anyone know a brand for the shortest / lower profile mud flaps? I'm just looking to keep dirt off the side of my truck. Since putting new wheels on, that come just to edge or fender, i'm definitely getting more splash. I see alot of Weather Tech and Husky and although both look nice, would still prefer a little smaller. If anyone has experience with Weather Tech and Husky, I'd be curious which of those two is shortest too. Thank you!
 
Those do look to be the lowest profile. People are concerned with them being hollow but thinking you could fill with non-expanding GreatStuff if you wanted to.
 
There's also an issue of paint damage, 3M film should be applied where the flap touches the paint
 
Mopar is the shortest, but they are badly designed and will damage your paint over time. Both the Husky and WT are superior, have very little contact with painted surfaces, but larger, the largest by about an inch is the Husky. Though personally I think the Husky is the most attractive.
 
I had my dealer install mine nice and tight. They used clear 3M on the paint to keep them there, and I will never not have them, so if they scuff under it, I don't really care. No salt down here, not too worried about them being hollow or holding debris in the rear as I wash my truck every week by hand and always clean my wheel wells when I do, along with rinsing out the pockets in the splash guards in the rear. For me, it was the Mopar ones or none, and after I added the 285/55R and 2" wheel spacers, they were a must to keep the sides clean(er). All the others looked like mud flaps, which they are, but I wanted/needed splash guards and that's what I have.
