I used to drive an Int'l dump truck that had an air-actuated mud-flap lift system on it. I used the heck out of that system. Probably saved me a lot in mud flap repair $! It was great for backing up to and exsiting pile and dumping.

Just got some info in the mail about these..
Regular set up with air control switch=1 set $315/ multiple sets $295 each.
They sell an automatic upgrade that has solenoids and all kinds of fancy stuff that can break for $85
For me, it will be the simple air switch in the cab.
Mackman, if you fill out that contact form on the website they send you a nice pamplet.
I'll let ya'll know how they work out before too long. |

| Trust me I am ready to put them on as well. Took one off today on a blasted curb. Just can't see putting it on the truck I am trading in next week. But the new one is in, got to see it, but they have to fix a few things before I sign on the dotted line. |

| I just don't know how they will work backing into pavers. My oldman hauls alot of blacktop and seeing that the flap goes out words i dont know if they will work that good. All the guys i see who haul blacktop put the flaps inwards. |

I have always hung my backwards, they do collect some asphalt so on the new truck I had the flaps mounted farther back so I can hang them forward. I am going to mount the lifter on the bottom of the bed behind my taillight brackets as to pull the flap forwards and up.
Mackman check your PM. |
