It has been done on motorcycles to stop vibration of handlebars.

They might be less prone to bending or denting .I have done mild to moderate wheeling with them on and havent had problems ,I try to be carefull.
For some of the sick all day wheeling as done in a off road park I would remove them.

Question is would whould it make a big difference. or any difference?.

Just thinking out load

It's not the steps that are the issue in this circumstance, it is the brackets that will bend them up into you door.
