Running Boards

[nlcougar]

Saw this in another thread but didnt want to derail. I'm thinking about dropping the running boards on my Lariat (Not the king ranch style, the chrome tubular ones).

I have the 2.5" level kit with the 350 rear blocks and 295/65s on it now. What is everyones opinion on dropping these? I dont see getting in and out as much of a problem since I didnt jack it up too high.

EDIT: A FEW PICS - AFTER LIFT BUT BEFORE THE TIRES WERE PUT ON.

I have always liked the running boards on these trucks. Not so much the tubular steps but the chrome package steps are nice

A Little OT but: Dude! You sold your truck? What happened?

On topic: My old lady just informed me that she would not be too happy if I dropped the rails.

Dump them!

I had the same setup on my old 06 F250... 2.5" spacers in the front F350 blocks in the rear on 295/65/20 MTs. Took the running boards off and never looked back. I've thought about taking them off my current truck but I think I would get tired of jumping into a truck with a 6" real fast...

It looks good without, but your wife and/or girlfriend may not appreciate it. Mine were off for a total of 2 hours before I was forced to put them back on

Level kit is that for the back of the truck(bed). Because by bed loiks to be lower then the front.

Thanks

I sold the truck to get in a 6.7. I went down to the wire on a new one and backed out. The more I read about the lack of performance opportunity with the 6.7 the more I wanted to stay with the 6.4. I picked up a 08 lariat last week for my new project.

Amp Research steps, best of both worlds but a little ruff on the wallet... it was money well spent.
