If you drill holes to install mud flaps, you're breaking the paint and undercoating sealants allowing rust to start forming on the bare metal of the holes you drilled. If they rust enough, the screws can loosen up and the mud flaps to drop off. If you get a new truck every 4 - 5 years, it's the next owner's problem.
A lot of people will run a piece of metal, hooked to the frame rail, from one side to the other and fasten the mud flaps to it. This usually allows you to install stronger and larger mud flaps than those preformed to fit the wheel well.
