I took my stock mud flaps and cut them down. They still work pretty good, they dont get hooked up and draged through the rocks as much. In my opinion they look a lot better too.

by the way BMC, i love your truck set up, and especially the non-existance of rust! it makes me sad to think about what my truck looked like long before i got it (minus the suspension and bumper upgrades). wanna trade? lol

My front stock flaps got tore off just backing up onto a curb to park in some grass, no lift and stock 275/70R15 tires. No more front mud flaps, however I still have the back ones on when I did the flatbed, they are a little higher now being mounted to the wooden bed.

PA State law:
Rear Wheel Shields - Trucks shall be constructed
or equipped to bar water or other
road surface substances thrown from rear
wheels of the vehicle at tangents exceeding
22.5o , measured from the road surface, from
passing in a straight line to rear of the vehicle.
See 75 Pa. C.S. §4533 (relating to rear wheel
shields) .
§ 4533. Rear wheel shields.
Every truck with a gross weight exceeding 11,000 pounds,
trailer and truck tractor (without a semitrailer) driven on a
highway shall be so constructed or equipped as to bar water or
other road surface substances thrown from the rear wheels of
such vehicle or combination at tangents exceeding 22 1/2
degrees, measured from the road surface, from passing in a
straight line to the rear of such vehicle or combination.
(Dec. 9, 2002, P.L.1278, No.152, eff. 60 days)
I don't think our trucks are capable of exceeding 11,000lb GVW, so i don't think pa needs mud flaps on the rear and there is nothing saying anything about front flaps.

Actually I wanted some because when I go in the woods it flings small small rocks into the area where my window goes up and down and when I roll it up and down it scratches the window. Its already tore up from the previous owner. I also hat getting in and out of the truck while hunting and getting covered with mud.

Well on the mud flap question other than stock JAOS are about the best you can get... if you can find them/afford them.
As for the stock ones try some of our parts vendors there are a few dealers there who have excellent prices. The local pick and pull can be a good source to... as long as you don't have the integrated running boards front flaps off a pick-up should fit right in... rears will work too but may need some new mounting holes drilled.
