Only duallies are required to run mud flaps. Your choice what you want to do on your Bronco. If it “needed” them they would come off the assembly line with them, And not as a just an option.
Yes, but don’t impose a risk on others that you are unwilling to accept for yourself by running front flaps only.

My Wildtrack is currently being built and I'm putting together a shopping list of stuff... I'm going to get front flaps, but are rears necessary? I know the front tires throw everything onto the doors, but does much land on the "rear" quarters? I guess show me you mud/dirt/snow pics!

I'm considering the following (any thoughts):
- Blumak3d Mudflaps https://blumak3d.com/products/rock-rail-front-mud-flaps-for-ford-bronco-sasquatch-only
- Broflaps https://www.etsy.com/listing/1194533600/
- Rallyarmor Flaps https://www.rallyarmor.com/index.ph...ck-rail-plastic-bumper-mud-flaps-c-60_359_381
Yes, IMO the rear flaps are a must. Balanced look, prevent damage to your own vehicle and prevent damage to other vehicles behind you, which is a liability

(or a trailer if you pull one). I went with the OEM. Spendy but I used FORD Pass points for them, Sturdy and the lower portion slides out for off-roading.

If you can visibly see the rear tires on the vehicle in front of you, whether it’s a Honda civic or a Bronco, there is the potential for a rock from those tires to hit your vehicle. So we should all run rear mudflaps on every car that almost touch the ground? That’s just silly.

The Sasquatch tires are much more likely to pick up rocks than regular tires.

Even with the front mini mud flaps and +30 wheels, I still get a shit ton of spray.

Rear mud flaps will keep the rear hatch and glass much cleaner, plus I think all trucks and vehicles with offroad tires should have rear mud flaps to prevent slinging rocks at others.

I have a bike rack or utility trailer hooked up to the rear often, so for me rear mud flaps are a must.
What flaps are these?

I am running rokblokz all around, they come off real easy for the trails and I feel have ample coverage for the road.
