Buyers Products Company hitch-mounted mud flaps 15 Inch — no-drill clamp, anti-rattle, exhaust shield

Buyers Products 8597215 are 15-inch, no-drill hitch-mounted mud flaps that attach to 2" and 2.5" receivers to block rock spray and road debris without drilling.

These mud flaps combine a powder-coated steel frame and 3/8" thick composite rubber to create a durable, reversible splash guard that installs using an anti-rattle clamp. Designed for pickup trucks, SUVs and trailers, the kit protects the rear of your vehicle and trailer from stones, mud, and exhaust heat while preserving safety-chain access. The package includes the 8597201 Mud Flap Exhaust Shield Kit so the flap stays resilient near hot exhaust and dually setups.

How does installation work without drilling?

The 8597215 uses a clamp-on mounting system that slides over common 2" and 2.5" hitch receivers or ball hitch shanks. An anti-rattle clamp secures the assembly, keeping movement and noise low while towing.

• Fits standard 2" and 2.5" receivers or ball shanks
• Clamp-on design requires no frame or bumper drilling
• Anti-rattle fastener reduces vibration and clanking
• Includes all mounting hardware for quick setup

Will these mud flaps handle lifted trucks or dually configurations?

This specific model is the 15" height intended for stock-height pickups and SUVs; Buyers also offers a 20" version for raised vehicles and larger tires. The supplied exhaust shield makes the kit compatible with dual-rear-wheel (dually) layouts where exhaust proximity is a concern.

• 15" height best for standard trucks, SUVs, and trailers
• 8597201 Exhaust Shield included for heat protection
• Dual-wheel accommodation when exhaust runs close to flap area
• 20" model (8597220) available separately for lifts

What protective features keep debris and damage away?

The flap combines a robust steel bracket with a thick rubber panel to deflect rocks, mud, and water thrown by rear tires. Cutouts in the design preserve easy access to safety chains and towing hardware so protection doesn’t interfere with safe hooking and unhooking.

• 3/8" thick composite rubber absorbs impacts and deflects splash
• Powder-coated steel frame resists corrosion and bending
• Built-in safety-chain cutouts for unhindered towing connection
• Reversible logo orientation for aesthetic preference

How durable is the construction for long-term use?

Materials and finish choices emphasize longevity under road conditions. The powder-coat finish on the steel frame slows rust formation, while the heavy rubber panel resists tearing and cracking from repeated impacts and weather exposure.

• Black powder-coated steel frame for corrosion resistance
• 3/8" rubber mud flap resists tears and abrasion
• Sturdy clamp hardware minimizes movement-related wear
• Reversible panel extends visual life by rotating logo orientation
