    Made some mudflaps yesterday and noticed that the axle on the truck isn't centered (axle offset towards passenger side and pokes out of fender by about 3/4" when compared to driver side. This is apparently from the factory and by design somehow. The effect being that the passenger mudflap had to be remade to cover the outside the tire.

    Question for those of you running aftermarket flaps or factory flaps. Are the passenger flaps also drilled for offset holes to cover the tire uniformly or is your passenger tire extending father than the flaps on passenger and kicking in your OCD.

    If it is, wanna buy some custom flaps?

    The axle issue is normal for these trucks. The factory flaps do not adjust for that.

    LOL, I discovered the same issue when I installed my Husky flaps. Did some digging, I guess it's super common, even with other brands. It's a feature, not a bug.

    I decided to ignore it and now it doesn't bug me.
