Good day, I'm trying to find a set of front mud guards for a JT High Altitude. I've researched numerous threads dealing with mud flaps but still don't have an answer. I ordered a set from Amazon, and they didn't work.

I checked with RokBlokz and they specifically stated "does not fit with High Altitude trim". I called Weathertech and they don't have anything to fit the wide axle JTs. In addition, I also reached out to Benny at All MOPAR Parts, and he stated that they only list the rear splash guards for the wide axle Gladiators, part #82216377AB. Apparently, the High Altitude is an odd duck since it has the wide axles but does not have the Rubicon style high front fenders. Curious if anyone has a front mud guard solution. I started this new thread since the issue appears to be High Altitude specific. Thanks to all.

Both the HA and the Max Tow have the wider axles AND no high-rise fender flares like a Rubicon. The max tow has the 3/4" extra plastic lip (HA does not have that plastic piece), but that sets above where the mud flap fits. Thas the only difference I know between the 2 flares. My painted white ones look identical to the HA's except the extra plastic piece

Here is one thread where they put the weathertech's on the front and mopar's on the rear and 1 guy put mopars on front and back and they fit on a max tow. But he did have to cut his rubicon style rock rails a bit

Weathertec actually says their rears won't work with wide axles but the fronts do not have that statement which is maybe why people are running them in the front on wide axle vehicles.

These are the ones i used. You do need to heat them a little bit to soften them up to better mold them. Work great. The last pic is the area that needs to be heated and molded.

Thanks Todd and Cory. If using the MOPAR flaps for the front, do the holes line up for mounting? I looked on the web and this fitment comment had me a bit concerned. I was told that our trucks have the wider fenders to accommodate the longer axles.

Husky Longjohn mudflaps, universal fit. Not to bad to install, used a little heat to help mold them, they've held up well.
On sale right now for less than $26 a pair.

No the holes do not line up. I needed to remove 2 of the plastic rivets so the flaps would lay flatter. You do have to drill holes in the plastic.

One more update. I ordered the spash guards Benny at All MOPAR Parts suggested , and they do not fit, not even close. They may work for the Max Tow JTs but they don't fit the High Altitude models.
