Mud flaps vs. side steps for rocks protection?

This cracked me up.

I'm trying to find some comparisons of Rokblockz original vs their newer XL flaps but haven't been able to find a good side-by-side yet.

There is a good comparison photo on their website.

I have Rokblokz, RockSlide Engineering sliders and XR flare extensions on my 392. 2 years in and no rock chips anywhere, muddy water yes but no rocks. I run mostly forestry roads so it was a must for me. My 24 2 door is getting the same treatment.

just a heads up the XL on an XR jeep (that's a mouthful) is a perfect fit in my oppionion. GRANTED there is a little spot that is cut out (I'll get pics later).
I have RSE sliders and the Rokbloxz on stock 392 XR rims with 315's and get VERY little trash on the sides (or on the rear flare).

I just added RSE steps to my 392 with the XR package… I don’t remember how far the factory Rubi rails stuck out in the front. Do I need the cutout from RokBlokz?

I did not get the ones with cut outs. And the flaps are at a more vertical angle.
