Mud flaps & running boards???

I am installing a 3" lift on my Taco. It came with stock mud flaps and running boards (nurf bars).
I have seen lots of ya'lls trucks with/without running boards.
I have seen no mud flaps.Only rear flaps and some with no flaps.
Advice??

 

It comes down to two things for the mud flaps. 1: just dont like the way they look.. or 2: put bigger tires (285) and they just dont clear. I took mine off for both reasons. As for the running boards its basically a personal preference. GL!

 

Correct

I took mine off because it stopped the mud from reaching the paint.
