Mud Flap height?

[lka]

+1 worth every penny. I hate the look of mud flaps

I like it, was that price-per or for all 4? Hell of a deal if it's all 4. I couldn't find that info on the link..

Mine are ran about 13-13.5" off the ground, no pics at my office, I have them ran in the stock 3 screws in the back. I'll try and update when i get home. But I have a Scab and it has always seemed to have a higher ride height compared to other trucks, especially screws.

Does the height even matter? Isn't it a "personal preference" anyways? I've seen some down farther and some up higher. When I installed mine, I held it up at different levels until I liked how it looked then used that measurement to make the other 3 the same for uniformity. You don't need much if your only goal is to stop dirt/mud from hitting the door or rear-end. Why does it matter what others think?

Do you have any pictures? I have set waiting to be installed and am trying to decide how far down they should be.

I don't have a way to host pictures online so no I don't have any. I went back and forth trying to decide on height. I actually made three sets of holes on the back just to try out different heights. I ended up going with 13" off the ground just because I don't like mud flaps but I need something to stop the mud/snow on the sides.

I agree it really is all about personal preference, but asking what others have done, and seeing the results can sometimes save a lot of time and frustration. Wilson's suggestion to use double sided tape to try things out sounds like a good idea as well.

I really don't care for the look of mud flaps that hang down low, but I want them to be low enough to make a difference, especially on the front.

I had measured the flaps on a used Raptor a few months back, that looked like just the right height, but I lost the measurements...lol. I actually measured down from the fender, rather than up from the ground. Alright I'll admit it; I'm a bit nervous about drilling holes into my new truck!

^that's why I had someone else do it. but you have to trust them and know they do a lot of them.

imgur.com to host images online, free. Though, if you ever want to delete them you should sign up instead of do it anonymously. There's none of the random ******** like on Photobucket either.

Once you get past the first drill hole the next ones come easier and then even bigger holes are even easier.

funny thing is it can be fixed. if you ever want to remove them but I'd just put the screw back in myself.
