Not bad.

I sometimes wonder what the big deal is with running boards on every truck today is. I can see them if it's high up but on a street truck, all they are is shin knockers and a great place to collect gunk and cause rust.

My wife got a new Suburban LTZ and it came with them, told the dealer she didn't want them but they were the'package' deal. I removed them and sold then on Craigslist. Put on a set of black mudguards and called it good.

Nice truck though. My favorite color, silver. Silver don't show dirt. We live on an unpaved road. Guy down the way has a black pickup. Think he washes it every day.

BECAUSE some people have shorter legs. My old 96 Z71 didn't have them and I wore the seat out turning sideways and sliding off the seat to touch the ground. I had them put on my new Chevy 4x4. I can turn sideways. Step on the chrome tube step and then step on the ground. I like "em".
So you are a midget huh? Step on the chrome tube step until it corrodes off....

You'd have a helluva time getting in my F350 Ford 4x4. it's 6 over stock so the door sill is about 16" off the ground and no running boards on that either. I use hoop steps in cast aluminum.

My wife and I aren't short. I'm 6'1" and she's 6'.

SA.....5'10" . As far as jacked up in the air you are NO Higher from getting stuck that the bottom of your differential. So YOU use steps too. You just want to knock mine.
I missed that but I will say my F350 rides on 33 x 12.5's on 22" aluminum alcoa rims so the lowest part on the truck (front differential is around 13 " off terra firma. Never drug anything off road and getting hung up is unlikely, have a 15,000 pound Warn winch too, Not that I use it much (truck or winch) it mostly hauls tractor fuel or totes our slide in camper.

That depends. I run 33 x 10.50's so the pumpkin is pretty high. It is a pizzer getting in and out and I did it way back in 98 and I'm not gonna change it just because I'm an old fart now. never been stuck off road, Has lockers front and real too. Detroit Tru-Track in the back, ARB air locker in the front.

Not about to buy a new, overpriced one. I bet I'd pay close to 75 for a new King Raunch, on A plan.

I'm a no payment person.

Not really. Different strokes for different folks. Mine is a farm truck anyway.

Thanks for the complements .With tailgating idiots really like being back up high again with big back bumper
You tailgate my F350 and all you'll get is my Pintle hitch in your radiator. I's nasty and waiting patiently.
