    Interested in replacing my OEM mud flaps with a set of shorter Husky mud flaps. I really like the look from the posts I've seen online, and prefer to not cut my OEM ones.

    Has anyone noticed a significant change in the amount of stone chips or debris as a result of switching to these shorter flaps?

    I know I'll probably have the worn paint on the fender line to deal with, but I think I can manage that with a little touch-up.

    Thanks!

    Maybe the stock ones were long for a reason. Anytime you shorten a mud flap your gonna increase the debris thrown up. Aggressive tires don't help either.
