After the lift, I don't want any unneeded attention by the law, so I made a mental plan and made these up:




Removable, as far back as I cold get without hitting the rear mount or getting in the way of the shackle. I have less than $20 in parts:
-about 6' of 3/4" squre tube 1/8" wall
-about 1' of 1" 1/8" wall square tube
-$5 pack of spring pins from Harbor Freight (same cost as the two pins I used but got a lot more)
-1 bigrig mudflap from Napa $10 (I get a discount), cut it in half then realized it basically hit the ground, cut one half in half and called it good
-30" of 3/4" strap steel

been wheeling a couple times and keep forgetting to take them off, held up so far, and seem to gather a fair amount of the spray

Looks good! I recently made some but mine are not removable. I am going to redesign mine. I used the same mudflap as you. I cut mine in half then I cut the bottom lip off because its curved.
