Construction & Design

The Putco Hex Shield Mud Skins are crafted from carbon black high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material known for its toughness, flexibility, and resistance to cracking under extreme weather conditions. This ensures the mud flaps maintain their shape and protective qualities over time, even when exposed to rocks, mud, snow, and road salt.

The unique Hex Shield™ pattern not only adds a visually striking texture but also enhances the flap’s ability to deflect debris effectively. The offset design is engineered to provide optimal coverage for trucks equipped with oversized tires, while still fitting perfectly on stock setups. The Gortillatuff Splashguards™ material used in the flaps is notably thick and resilient, offering an extra layer of defense against the elements and road hazards.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Putco Hex Shield Mud Skins is straightforward and requires no drilling, preserving your truck’s factory integrity. The mud flaps are designed to bolt directly onto existing mounting points on the rear wheel wells of 2011–2018 Ram 3500 trucks with the specified engines. This ensures a secure fit and hassle-free setup, allowing you to protect your vehicle quickly and efficiently.

The offset design accommodates larger tires commonly found on lifted or modified trucks, but also fits standard tire sizes without issue. This versatility makes the mud skins a practical upgrade for a wide range of Ram 3500 owners.
