RE: mud flaps
I say keep them on for paint protection reasons, but with those 35" shoes, they seem a bit dwarfed. Do the flaps even do their job anymore in comparison to a stock size tire? Maybe there are some aftermarket flaps that are longer, made for trucks that have been lifted and shod with bigger tires/wheels.
BTW, your 2500 looks way cool sinister!

RE: mud flaps
Removing them will make your truck look nice and clean (not that it doesn't already). But if you say good bye to the mudflaps say hello to the paint chips that are gonna be provided by those new tires. I second hammer's advice get some bad *** fenderflares then remove the mudflaps...

It just depends on how much you like your paint job. If you don't care about rock chips on the rocker pannel area then take them off. If you don't want A LOT of rock chips than my advice would be leave tham on untill you can get fender flares.
FYI you might want to check your local laws I have knownpeople to be ticketed for not having them if there trucks were over aspecified height (measured from the ground to the bottomof the bed).
Hope this helps

RE: mud flaps
Yeah, I have actual chunks of road tar halyway down the bottom of my door from new road consrction this past summer, I'm still finding little mounds and hard ridges of the black crap on my paint. I agree with hammer, take them off, but get flares first, you wanna have some protection fron all the crap on the roads.
