Anyone using rocker panel protection by Lund Part No. 19432307?

[paulny]

Just picked up a new Silverado ZR2 and am considering the rocker protection.  Anyone have experience?  Will it work with high clearance steps?  Thanks!

Plastic that stocks to the rocker?  Sounds like a rust trap.

The rust thing is what is keeping me from getting them. It will keep stones from chipping it up but it will hold the salt in them and cause the rockers to rust. You can get them for about $165 directly on Lund's site when I looked a couple weeks ago.

If you’re that worried invest in mud flaps and some of that plastic film that goes on the rocker. 

A good set of off road rock rails or those flat, high clearance steps would stop most stuff from hitting your rockers. 
 

Between my rails and the mudflaps not much solid actually hits my rockers.

Haven't owned either, but between the two I think I favor the Bushwacker version, not only cheaper but seems like better coverage.

It's not only mud/rocks, but with the high clearance steps being so narrow and tight to the truck, your shoes/boots etc. can frequently beat into the rockers, even if you're careful.  Get mud/salt on those rockers and then grind it in with the toe of a shoe just once and it will scuff them up.   We see a ton of them that have paint damage there very quickly.  PPF is another option to do for that issue.

I'd just get a company to cover it, maybe like an XPel clear Paint Protection Film.
