Bar Type Mud Flap Hangers
Mud flaps protect the underbed of a truck or trailer from corrosion. They also prevent road debris from kicking up from the road, which can damage your truck and other motor vehicles. Bar type mud flap hangers are metal accessories used to support mud flaps on semi-trucks and trailers. They feature a straight or angled metal bar with brackets to secure the mud flap in place.
Truck mud flap hangers not only keep mud flaps in place but ensure they hang at the proper height for compliance with state DOT regulations. It is important to select mud flap hangers that fit the size and shape of your mud flap. This will prevent issues with installation and help keep the mud flaps on your truck. Always double check measurements to make sure you select the right length and offset, and that you are using the correct mounting hardware.

Maintaining Compliance with State Mud Flap Regulations
To properly adjust your mud flaps, you need mud flap hangers. There are several options available including bar type mud flap hangers, spring loaded mud flap hangers, and trailer mud flap retention systems that are low maintenance and easy to adjust.There are no federal guidelines for mud flaps, but every state has regulations for which vehicles require mud flaps, the amount of coverage they must provide, and how far above the roadway you should mount the mud flaps. Mud flap regulations vary greatly from state to state, so it’s best to follow general guidelines and keep your mud flaps at no more than six inches from the ground.
