I was watching youtube and the kydd folks just got a F450 to tow a big 5er. One comment they made was mud flaps are required on a dually. Are they really required by law in some areas?
I saw the video too.

The Only way to know which states require them is to research the State laws concerning tire coverage.
Last I checked, in WA State, the only stipulation about mud flaps being required related to where the center line of the axle was in relation to vehicle fender, which is what Bedlam is referring to as well:

In my state the rear wheel legally has to have coverage beyond the centerline. I tow behind my truck camper so use flaps that hang even lower to protect the trailer.
