Hi Jeepers,

My KK is lifted 4 inches and has 245/75/16 Duratracs. I frequently tow my camper/cargo hauler trailer that I built, and now that I have a few thousand miles on the trailer I'm noticing that there are indentations in the front aluminum skin from stones the Jeep is kicking up. I imagine it will be worse once winter weather arrives, because the front of the trailer will become caked in icy salty slush.

Does anyone who tows with their rig run mud flaps? If so, what kind do you have, and do you like them? I think my lifted KK might look a little weird with mud flaps on it, but better that than damaging my trailer. What do you think?

Thanks for the input,
Lauren

It'll definitely help. But I was always taught mudflaps don't work with wheeling. Most people end up tearing them off. So if you do chose to add mudflaps, make sure they're removable.

I pull a small utility trailer and have the OEM flaps. I like them. I don't really wheel though so can't comment on how they are offroad.
