Running Board Question +20 offset

Looking to upgrade to a 2020 or 2021 King Ranch, but most in inventory have the power deployable running boards. I have the 35 Toyo Ridge Grapplers on 9in wheels with a +20 offset. Mostly flush with fenders, but will I be experiencing a lot of rock chips on lower door if I choose the power deployable running boards?

Good point. I think you are correct. A big part of my truck having running boards and why I get the flat extra wide 6" running boards is to protect the truck from dirt roads. I don't want the power auto running boards for that reason.

We will see what the owners with power running boards that travel dirt roads a lot say from their experience.

Maybe this is too simple but why not just get some mud flaps?

I live on a farm and have a long gravel road. Worried for this one reason, but it seems you have an option to leave the running boards always sticking out. Got to make a quick decision on truck before year end for tax deduction.
