You’ve got a good looking truck. Looks just like mine! Also, what do you think of Rally Armor compared to the Ark mudflaps?

How did you get the rally armor flaps on? I gave up trying to get them on my pro because they just didn't work.

Without seeing the Ark in person they look like a hard, not flexible material. That way if I come down off a rock and it hits the mud flap it will give and not damage anything. I fear a hard plastic could damage the body where it attaches. Some of the Ark look too small to really help much too.

It was a bit of a pain. I had to turn the front wheels to have room for the install and jack up the back to get the wheels to drop.

I haven't even tried the fronts because I can't get the rears on. My problem is with that flat metal bracket, I can't get it to sit flush with the 1/4" difference between the wheel well and the flare. Every time I get the top screw tight the bottom one pops out and vice-versa.

Are you using all the spacers?

Yeah I'm using the spacers, but they don't do anything to help with the lip between the wheel well and the fender flare. Did you tighten that top screw down to bring them flush together? I don't understand how a flat bracket is is supposed to bridge that transition since it's not flat. Do you have any pics straight on from the side?
