I keep mine in... or out depending on my mood. I like them out but it would let the motor get muddy if I was in heavy mud. Without them it's easier to work on. Another reason they're out is I think my tires would chew on them when flex'd.
I always kept the inner fender in on my old K10 and the motor still got muddy.
