Default Remove running board or not???

Ok, I pretty much know what people are going to say, but i will ask any way. My room mates are telling me I should remove my running board (they say it looks like an old man truck) and maybe even lower it, so last night Chris did a little photo choping on it...

The way it is know...


No running boards...


No mud flaps...


Plus dropped about 2 more inches, All I could go, but I don't think I want to, cuz I would HAVE to put helper bags on it, cuz I use my truck AS a truck a fair amount and need to be able to haul and tow with out it bottoming out all the time.


Tell me what you think...

Oh and I'm pissed cus over the weekend I went from the lowest truck in the house the the tallest

I'm even older


Ok, here's the deal, your right, we're all going to say lower, denurf, derail, debadge and deflap....the trend is low, simple and clean. Not only will it look clean but the lost weight, drag and improved handling may make you happy.

I never said anything about it but I always thought you were in your 40's to 50's because of your running boards. I dislike anything below the doors on a truck.
