Reducing Stone Chips, better mud flaps or?


Recommended Posts

My truck is riddled with stone chips after only 14k miles. (mostly on the door bottoms)  I have the OEM "wider" mud flaps on the truck now.  What mud flaps are people running that help keep the stones off the truck and also look halfway decent?  Are there other options for paint protection like clear bras?  Looking for tips/advice, thanks!  Truck is lifted with 35s if that helps (obviously not for the stone chips 😬)

Running boards do wonders. If you don’t have any I’d suggest getting them. 
if you have chips you can try and fix them with paint chip repair or if it’s terrible having them repainted then put a clear shield film on lower rockers and doors to prevent it. That’s what I did with my SS trailblazer. Had them repaint all four doors then put clear shield on the lower part of the doors. About 6 inch strip running entire length of the doors.

I'm not opposed to running boards, would like to try to find something that offers protection but is low profile to some degree.  Wish I had done the clear bra before I messed with the truck!! haha, hindsight

I agree. I wish I would have done a clear bra on my front painted bumper. It has a few chips in it now. Gonna paint chip repair and wet sand to see if I can’t save it and then clear bra it.
