Drive it first and see what you think. We live on white rock roads, drive about 6-12 miles of them per day. 2D Badlands with Sasq with the stock Goodyears, 6800 miles and we have one rock ding, and you have to look hard to find it. The under side of the rock rails have some dings, but has far as paint and the rear flare faces, it's a non issue imo. I've never seen so much whining about a particular topic on the new bronco sites as the one about tires throwing rocks lol. They do grab rocks more than our other tires, but not enough to warrant the look of mud flaps on the bronco. If you're not driving gravel roads everyday, I wouldn't even consider them.
