can front splash guards be used with these?Ie: Weathertec or RokBlokz? I installed the Raptor Side-steps( which I think look sharp) but from a protection standpoint( avoiding chips and dings on the rear panel and fender flare) I believe these ( LOD’s ) would work better? Below is a rear profile of what I have now in my 2020 Rubi..

I just recently replaced the factory Rubi rock rails with a set of LOD Destroyer sliders. They've definitely helped to decrease the amount of rocks kicking up and mud down the side of the body.

You have no splash guards in addition?

headbarcode - would you mind a shot from the bottom side of your rails when/if you get a chance?

Just wandered into this thread and saw this. Any specific angles?

Just for future reference, if you hit reply under a specific post it will add it to your post and send that person a notification. I could've responded to you much quicker.

Still learning the lay of the land sorry. I just want to have an idea of what the rocker area looks like from the underside with those rails attached. Thanks again - sorry for the newb error.

No, nothing to apologize about. Just wanted to give you a heads up on how to get a quicker response. You got a notification for this post because I quoted your post. Lol

I'll take pictures tomorrow, as early as possible. So, you're wanting to see how much space there is between the slider and the body, right?

Let me know if there are any other specific angles or areas you'd like to see pics of.

I know you said underside, but here's a couple shots taken with the camera inline with the lower part of the rocker that bends inward. They designed an intentional gap between the slider and rocker of about 5/8", so if it takes a hard enough hit to flex the slider, it won't hit the body.
