i know that this subject has been discussed in other posts but I’m looking for either a WT or Husky mud flaps that will fit my needs. I had Mopar flaps put on when I bought my Bighorn in October but they don’t work for the roads that I drive on, gravel and snow covered roads. I’m looking for a flap that is wide and a little longer than the Mopar. Between the WT and husky which one will work the best?

When I compared the WT to the Husky, the Husky was about 1" longer. I went with the Husky and they look and work good. I have WT mudguards on my 2014, and they've been great too, but we all know that 1" can make a big difference.

Husky brand are the way to go in my opinion. More coverage, solid attachment, and high quality.

I did the Mopar. I like the clean look they have. I feared I wouldn't like how they wrapped around the flares but once installed I think they look very nice. Other brands seemed to be too big and odd shaped for me. I don't want flaps that looked like they came off a Mack truck.

Yes, Husky. Use the 3rd screw. The tape sucks. They will give you some clear film where the flap mounts against the truck painted surface so it won't rub.

Thanks to all who responded. I was going to get the WT's due to ease of installation, but based on comments, I'm now leaning toward the Huskies. Now I just need my Longhorn to be built!

Liking my WTs. No problem with Huskys either. I just like the profile of the WTs better.

Had Husky on a prior vehicle. WT on last two trucks. I like the WT better.

Tossed my mopar ones in the garbage that were on the truck and put husky flaps on. Much better, and come with PPF to put on the fender where the flap sits.

Gatorbacks are awesome. I have them on my Rebel and they work great for bigger more aggressive tires.
I’d suggest these as well depending where you live. I’ll be getting them on my next truck. I’ve had the molded mopar ones on my truck and have cracked two rear sets in half backing over snow banks.
