You gotta' be kidding! I'd say the puddles on Memorial Drive (Cambridge, MA)
get maybe 4-6" deep and if I hit them around 20-25 mph I get a huuuuggggggeee
plume of water up over the hood and onto the top of the cab!! That's why I had
to install those little vent shade things on the door 'cause I kept getting
soaked if I had the window down :-)
I dunno, maybe the 31x10.5" tires have something to do with it?

How deep are the "puddles" you drive through?? I've gone through 4" deep
ones and my flares work just fine. You must be either fording rivers or
flying across some shallow stuff that people mistake you for a hydrofoil.
Wow, water on the hood... I never get that unless the water is coming from the
sky or a hose... ^_^

Nope... Factory flares will not cure this. I've got 'em and I get water
waaayyy up over the hood and cab when I hit a puddle... Then again, I like
that
sorta thing :-)
I do recommend the mud flaps though. They keep rocks and crud from chipping
the
paint behind the wheels. They look good too, IMO.
