A mud flap lifting device is provided for mounting on a truck or other vehicle in which the device selectively lifts mud flaps away from the tires when the truck is backing up or dumping a load. A pneumatic power cylinder is mounted on a elongate frame and attached to the truck over the mud flaps. A cable extends from the piston of the power cylinder to the mud flaps. Rollers are mounted on the frame such that the actuation of the power cylinder lifts the mud flaps from a fully extended position to a folded, raised position. The existing pneumatic power system of the vehicle may be used and the controls can be mounted in a truck cab to facilitate operation of the device to lift the mud flaps.
