I have a 6" lift with 35's. The factory splash guards are ridiculous dirt buckets, and the Huskys have clearance issues. Does anyone know of a flap that looks good, and solves clearance issue without having to modify them? I have Laramie flares. Thanks for any input

I put Gatorbacks on my Laramie. I've got 20" tires and is not lifted. They work out well and do what I expected. You might check with them and see if they have a product better suited for your application. They don't release the dirt very well with just a garden hose, you have to work at it a little. They aren't rigid, they flex a little. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Thanks. Would you have a pic that shows a side view to see clearance I could expect with them?

They are right at about 5/16 of an inch thick. The mounting holes are slotted and line up with the screws that hold the flares on, allowing some side to side adjustment. Bottoms of mine are about 7" off the ground. I might pinch them on the tire if I back over something higher than a curb or similar. Not likely for what I do with my truck.

I decided to try and just modify the Husky flaps. Cut a strip on the bandsaw. Clearance is good now. A little more fine tuning with a file and should be looking like it came that way. Some before/after pics.
