Do you reckon they'll come out far enough to exceed the 'front to rear' line of the wheels?

To be most effective, a slider should protude out further than the line of the wheels.
So if your sliding by [not over] a rock/tree it's going to give added protection to the relevant wheel/tyre.

Wouldn't that then mean that you could get hooked up on things that you cannot drive over??
