the skirts that they do make are only fiberglass and wouldn’t prevent something like this. They are done for aerodynamic reasons only. I don’t think it’d be an easy sell for a metal one, especially one heavy / robust enough to keep a car from smashing through. The main thing with trucks is weight, & weight = payload capacity. Lower payload capacity = less on a load = less dollas to make you holla.
