    Out of curiosity why are you asking us? It's around 50/50 right now. It's your truck so leave them on or take them off. You're the one that has to be happy not us.

    Off... once again.;)

    I'm asking because they both look good to me. Without them, my truck looks higher, with them, my truck looks beefier. Both look good to me, I'm trusting in my TW people to help out.

    none yet
    If it is there for a purpose such as step in/out then ON.

    If not, a stainless one may look cleaner.

    The once or twice off-roading can push the nerf bar into your rocker panels. Just keep this in mind:

    Sorry, what is a rocker panel? Is it good or bad? So, you're saying off?
