I searched this topic before posting and looked at Howards howson mod thread.
I currently have DuraFlap https://duraflap.com on my current dually. They do an OK job, but do not offer full protection. I am considering them (rear) for my new truck. They make a long extended model now. Thinking Ford stock mudflaps up front should work well with the running boards the KR comes with.
However for the rear its a different story. Like Howard we are planning a trip up north next year. I know I will be taking some side trips on the gravel roads so I was looking for extra protection.
I want to protect the front of my trailer as best as possible!
In my travels I have seen a lot of hitch mounted rock guards

The broom style ones

All of the above seem to work, but have one big issue - they all appear to sag over time - especially the single top tube mounted ones like the rock tamers. The Broom stiye seem to sail pretty high while traveling offering a bit less protection.
The I ran across this

Is anyone using this RockStar unit? Seems to be of a very stirdy construction. Even though I tow a 5th wheel I will neeed to install a ball shank to attach.
All of the models will also interfere with the back up sensors too. Was hoping to have them functional when the trailer is not attached.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
Keith
