Rock Pinging

Has anyone used Raptor Liner or Herculiner to soften the sound of rock pinging on the wheel-wells or undercarriage when coming from gravel roads? Any other product?

I’m not talking about road noise as much as minimizing the sound of rocks being thrown from my tires to the metal when I navigate on or from gravel roads.

It’s not your wheel wells, that pinging noise is coming from your rocker panels. You need front mud flaps.

Ah, that sounds like an easier and way less expensive fix.

Mud flaps will help for sure. But since I am not a mud flap guy, I live with this.
I’m Just gonna Raptor liner ( color matched) it when it gets too bad. But those are scars of honor.
Another option is to expel protector for the rocker panels.

The factory sasquatch tires seem to stop throwing so many rocks about 9000 miles or so...

Agreed they calm way down after 9000 miles. But these new K03s throw some rocks.

Sorry - don’t know how this got on the Bronco Sport Forum. I meant to put it on the Bronco full-size forum. But - I got my answer anyway. I guess I’m not the only one with both models. And also not the only one who rarely posts on forums.
