Hi, I’m thinking of putting the aftermarket Ford fender flares on my XLT, will those work also as mud flaps or will I need those too?
WOW, that is really graphic and clearly shows something is needed.The flares should will cut down on amount of debris that collects behind the tires but most folks that are buying mud guards are doing it to protect against some exposed areas in the wheel wells; especially the rear wheel well on the driver's side.
