with or without the running boards????

not sure if I like the exposed frame without the running boards, but I fix that with a piece of aluminium going across and painted black.

I also plan to drop my 2.5BB 1/2 inch so it will sit a tad lower

I like it better with the running boards.........looks more "finished". But then again, what do I know.

With them, your JK looks real pretty but without them, your JK looks taller, meaner and ready for the trails. Need I say, I vote to leave them off

I think you should take the middle ground and find a member that is taking the rock rails off their 2 door Rubi. and put them on yours. I love the look and it completly hides the pinch welds.

WTF??? Don't do that! Leave the lift as it is. It looks great. If you are going to take your Jeep off road, you really need some rock sliders. I think I like the look of the steps if you're just going to leave it on the road though.

Default Keep em on!

They look decent and they protect the sides from spray and rock chips. Plus the benefit of keeping shopping carts and minivan doors off the sides!

Leave them on. Gives the side a more finished look.

Leave them off and don't lower it. I think it looks ready to go!
