Not sure if you're using fenders already but they help a lot.  A good 
mudflap on the front that is 4-5" wide and hangs within 2" of the ground 
helps immensely. You can't really find mudflaps wide/long enough on 
off-the-shelf fenders so they usually have to be homemade with a rubber 
sheet or something similar like leather or plastic. Attachment can be as 
easy as a couple of holes and a zip-tie.
