"wheelwells" of fender flares

Of course I got to thinking about this after I had my flares painted, but are any of you that have painted flares (doesnt matter wat brand) putting anything special inside the wheelwell where they would get beat up from rocks and road debris?! Help a brother out, thanks in advance guys!

I had bushwacker ( pocket style) flares on my 2nd gen, I sanded the bottom of them and the insides of my wheel wells with 80 grit then i used spray in box liner, its like rubber so rocks dont do any damage.

Did you have to trim the flares at all to fit those tires?!

When I was running the 37" MTR's I didn't have any issue at all but when I swaped over to the Hankooks I had to trim a little bit off the bottom corner but not much at all. If your tires don't hit now you shouldn't have an issue

I also should have added that my truck only has 41k on it. Maybe why its lasted so long
