Frequently Asked Questions About Volvo VT880 Mud Flaps
Will these mud flaps fit my specific year model Volvo VT880?
Our Volvo VT880 mud flaps are designed to fit all VT880 models from 2003 to 2015. The mounting brackets and dimensions are compatible across these model years. However, if your truck has aftermarket fenders or custom modifications, we recommend measuring your fender wells before ordering. Standard mounting holes align with factory specifications for both single and tandem axle configurations.
What material options are available and which holds up best against road chemicals and weather?
We offer three main material options: heavy-duty rubber (3/8" thick), anti-spray rubber composite, and stainless steel accent models. The heavy-duty rubber flaps provide excellent durability against salt, mud, and debris while remaining flexible in extreme temperatures down to -40?F. The anti-spray composite reduces water spray by up to 70% and resists cracking. For maximum longevity, many drivers prefer the stainless steel accent models which feature a rubber base with polished steel trim that won't rust or corrode.
Do I need to drill new holes or remove wheels for installation?
Most installations require no drilling as our mud flaps use existing factory mounting points on the VT880. You'll need basic hand tools including a socket set and possibly a pry bar for older trucks with corroded bolts. Wheel removal is not necessary for standard installations. The complete install typically takes 30-45 minutes per side. Each set includes stainless steel mounting hardware and detailed instructions with diagrams specific to the VT880 frame rail configuration.
What sizes and styles are available for different wheel configurations?
We stock mud flaps in 24" x 30" for standard applications and 24" x 36" for lowered trucks or those requiring extra coverage. Style options include plain black, reflective DOT tape borders, chrome weights, and custom logo cutouts. For wide-base single tires, we recommend the 30" wide option. Tandem axle setups may benefit from our quarter fender sets that provide coverage between the wheels. All styles meet DOT requirements for commercial vehicles.
How do these mud flaps affect fuel economy and are they adjustable for different loads?
Properly installed mud flaps typically have minimal impact on fuel economy (less than 1% in most cases). Our aerodynamic designs include angled tops that reduce wind resistance. The mounting brackets allow for 2-3 inches of height adjustment to accommodate different load weights and trailer configurations. For drivers concerned about fuel efficiency, we recommend the vented anti-spray models which reduce drag while maintaining full protection. The flaps should hang approximately 6-8 inches from the ground when properly adjusted.
