CHDT66 Aluminum Conspicuity Strips for Semi Trucks 24" x 2-7/8" — DOT-2 Reflective Preinstalled, Pack of 2

CHDT66 Vehicle Exterior Guard is a pair of aluminum conspicuity strips with pre-installed DOT-2 reflective tape designed to mount on straight rear mud flap hangers for semi trucks. CHDT66 made this kit to boost side and rear visibility and give a clean, durable edge to standard straight-type mud flap hangers. Each unit is an aluminum plate 24" x 2-7/8" that comes with 24" x 2" DOT-2 certified reflective strips already attached. The plates include pre-cut holes for faster installation and fit hangers from about 28" to 31.25" in length, accommodating both spring-loaded and simple mud flap hanger designs.

How does this conspicuity kit attach to my truck's mud flap hangers?

Installation is straightforward: align the aluminum plate to the top rail of a straight mud flap hanger and secure through the pre-cut holes. The universal hole pattern simplifies fitting for most standard hangers, though professional installation is recommended if you want a watertight or load-rated finish.

• Pre-cut holes matched to common hanger layouts for faster alignment
• Fits hangers with overall lengths from 28" to 31.25"
• Works with both spring-loaded and simple straight hangers
• Two plates per pack to outfit both sides or a single axle pair

What materials and dimensions should I expect from the CHDT66 kit?

The plates are formed from aluminum for corrosion resistance and low weight, sized to cover the top of standard mud flaps without obstructing hanger movement. DOT-2 reflective tape (24" x 2") is factory-applied to each plate for consistent reflectivity and an even finish.

• Aluminum plate dimensions: 24" x 2-7/8"
• Pre-installed DOT-2 tape: 24" x 2" per plate
• Pack contains: two aluminum plates with reflective strips
• Durable finish suitable for exterior vehicle use

Will this kit improve compliance and visibility during night driving?

The DOT-2 reflective strips included are certified to a common conspicuity standard and help increase reflected light return from vehicle lamps and headlights. While installation contributes to visibility, overall compliance depends on local regulations and how the kit is installed and maintained.

• DOT-2 certified reflective tape enhances light return at night
• Pre-installed tape reduces installation variability and alignment errors
• Regular cleaning maintains reflectivity and inspection readiness
• Check local rules to confirm mounting height and placement requirements

What should I know about fit, maintenance, and installation tips?

Measure your existing rear straight mud flap hanger length before ordering to ensure compatibility with the kit's supported range. Keep bolt surfaces clean and use corrosion-resistant fasteners; periodic wiping keeps the reflective surface performing well. If you need sealed or load-rated attachment, have a technician complete the installation.

• Confirm hanger length (acceptable range: 28" to 31.25") before purchase
• Use stainless or zinc-coated hardware for long-term corrosion resistance
• Wipe reflective strips periodically to remove road grime
• Professional installation recommended for permanent fleet fitment

Who is this for? This CHDT66 conspicuity kit is aimed at fleet managers, owner-operators, and truck maintenance shops that want an economical, ready-to-fit solution to add DOT-2 reflective markings to straight-type mud flap hangers. It fits operators who prefer pre-applied reflective tape, quick mounting with pre-cut holes, and a lightweight aluminum option that resists corrosion and keeps a tidy, professional appearance on the rear of semi trucks.
