Frequently Asked Questions About International LT Mud Flaps
What years and models of International LT trucks do these mud flaps fit?
Our International LT mud flaps are designed to fit 2017 and newer International LT models. They're compatible with both single and tandem axle configurations. However, fitment can vary depending on your specific wheel setup and aftermarket modifications. We recommend checking your truck's year, model, and any custom fender or suspension modifications before ordering. If you're unsure about compatibility, our customer service team can help verify fitment with your OEM number.
What materials are these mud flaps made from and how durable are they?
Most International LT mud flaps in our collection are manufactured from heavy-duty rubber compounds or anti-sail polyethylene materials. The rubber options typically feature 3/8" to 1/2" thickness for maximum durability against road debris, while the poly options offer excellent flexibility in extreme temperatures without cracking. Both materials are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, road salt, and constant flexing. Many models include stainless steel or powder-coated weights at the bottom to prevent excessive flapping at highway speeds.
Do I need any special tools or drilling to install these mud flaps?
Installation requirements vary by mud flap style. Most OEM-replacement mud flaps use existing mounting holes and require basic hand tools like wrenches and screwdrivers. Quarter fender mud flaps typically mount using existing bolt holes with provided brackets. However, some universal or custom styles may require drilling 2-4 holes per flap. Installation usually takes 30-45 minutes per set. You may need a drill with metal bits for certain applications.
What styles and sizes are available for International LT trucks?
We offer several styles including quarter fender mud flaps (typically 24" x 30"), full-length rear mud flaps (24" x 36"), and anti-sail designs with angled cuts. Popular options include plain black, stainless steel accent weights, and custom logo designs. Standard widths are 24" with lengths ranging from 24" to 36". For trucks with wide-base singles or super singles, we also carry 30" wide options. Most flaps come in black, though white and chrome-weighted versions are available for specific applications.
How do these mud flaps handle in winter conditions and with tire chains?
Quality International LT mud flaps are engineered to remain flexible in temperatures as low as -40?F without cracking or becoming brittle. The anti-sail designs with bottom weights perform particularly well in icy conditions by maintaining proper position. When using tire chains, ensure at least 6-8 inches of clearance between the mud flap and tire to prevent contact. Some drivers prefer the poly material in extreme winter conditions as it tends to shed ice buildup more effectively than rubber alternatives.
