Well in my opinion, after seeing ddgarcia05 with & without, I say keep them on!!!

I had been thinking about taking mine off too but now I think they give a better appearance with them than without them.

I dont think I could take mine off. I love the extra boost they give. And I think they Chrome balances out my truck nicely. Maybe if I decide to get black wheels I will take them off

I have the same ones and removed them, almost forgot what they looked like before seeing your truck.....It definitely looks good off cause it makes the truck appear taller, but I too have been debating on re-installing them cause my seat is getting beat up, and I just replaced them with leather so I want to keep it looking good. I'm not sure what I should do

Should I remove mine?
I have been thinking about it. I just did a real quick photoshop job to remove them. I am just not sure if it would really look better? What do y'all think? (Thank god the front windows are getting tinted tomorrow!!!!)

I am keeping mine on because they act as a mud flap/stone guard and protect my paint a bit

Ya... I just noticed that my brackets are starting to rust. Once it gets warm, I'll pop them off, sand, paint, and re-install. I like having mine on. I don't really need them but its helpful for others. Plus I use them to knock any mud/snow off my shoes before getting in.

Not only are they helpful for the wives / girlfriends but they save your doors from smucks who don't know how to or just don't give a d@mn about your vehicle. Go ahead swing your doors open onto my $200.00 bars a whole lot cheaper than having the doors repaired ( dings, dents, paint chipped of). Mine are on for good
