Since doing this I have only once heard a piece of gravel ping off the shield in 2 years. Nothing has gotten stuck whatsoever.
To anyone talking about rear-diffs and the sound in question, it is completely unrelated. The shields are all P('s)OS, and while the diff can fail it doesn't make a sound like a robot getting raped by a dying mechanical crane.

Wow - did you really bend them 2in? Might need to take another stab at mine.
