underside of rear wheel well protection ?

I have an 06 XLT 4x4 and am going to get LineX bed protection soon. I learned that LineX also can be use to protect the under side of the wheel well from stone chips and consiquential rust, this seems like a great idea. But under the front wheel well there is this pretty good rubber/plastic shroud to do this job. Does the offroad FX4 have such a thing for the rear? Anybody know of one for the rear? or should I just go with LineX under the rear? thanks for your ideas.

wouldnt that look a little weird? I am sure it would help but I have offroaded many times and my wheels even stick out beyond the truck and I havent ever gotten any scratches on the side of my truck or in the wheel well.

It's all painted black underneath anyway. I find that the Bridgstone Dueler Revos pick up and kick up a lot of stones. Don't plan to do much off roading, but on a gravel road I heard 50+ stones hit the underside in less than a mile of riding. Thanks for the thought on appearance though.

There is no wheel well liner available from Ford. I sprayed the rubberized undercoating in my real wheel wells to protect them. Looks good, too. Line-X would be even better in there.

+1 for undercoating. Line-X would be better if you can spare the scratch.
