I extended the factory mudflaps (behind the rear wheels) to 24" tall. They run 8-9-in above the pavement. We get dirt all over the toad if it rains on a muddy road, but we have not seen chips. Then again, we're 11-ft from where rubber meets the road back to the bumper.
From what I've read here:
1. Those stringy "hula skirts" are not very effective
2. A flap like grandpere linked can be helpful IF it doesn't kiss the road surface on bumps and dips. If it does, it can kick debris up into the toad.
3. If I wanted one of those wide flaps, I'd get three 24x36-in truck mud flaps and mount them crosswise to my square steel tube bumper. Those flaps are tough, but they cut very easily with a utility knife.
