Maybe. WHen I had H&R springs on my Westy, I had less than 3" clearance between the ground and the factory mudflap. The mudflap now has a tear across about half of its width. You may have enough clearance that this will not be a problem, but I think being lower to the ground causes the mudflap to flex more and will accelerate wear.
