Mabett mud flaps rubbing

[Slider]

I put a set of Mabett's on my 2023 Non Sas Big Bend. I thought I had read that they would fit with 35's as long as you had a lift. I have 2" Zone lift, 35x12.50's Zero offset wheels. Any idea's? Thanks!

@Mabett might be able to shed some light on this

Its your running boards. I have big bend. I had to move running board back 1 inch to fit them. Be advised to do that you must remove and drill new holes in running boards. Actually cut new holes and move the nuts into new holes.

Rtazz, thanks. Makes sense. How big a pain in the arse are they to move back? Did you have to drill new mounting holes for the running boards?

Its a pia. You have to cut new holes. I used a dremel. They are nuts that slip through the cut holes. Once you look under the boards you will see how they are fastened. Took me about two hours to move both sides. Nearly any mudflap you buy will rub the boards. Ford did not account for adding mud flaps that’s evident

I wonder if it would be easier and cleaner to take endcap off the running board and cut it and then put endcap back on?
