I removed the factory running board just to see how it would look. What do y’all think? Do you prefer with or without?

Did you gain any clearance? On thecopcar I looked at this, but the bottom of the running boards is even with the bottom side of the frame.
Definitely gained at least an inch or so of clearance. The side frame does extend slightly lower than the painted body but the running boards extended well below the side frame.

I like that look without them a lot. If I didn't use mine so much in the snow or mud to kick crap off my boots, I'd remove them.

I removed mine and installed RBP retractable boards this past weekend. They fold almost outta sight and work awesome. Ill post some pics when I get home. SUPER easy install. AND they were one sale for $895 shipped.

Very excited to see your photos and hear about the install process. That looks like a great alternative to more expensive automatic running boards. I might go ahead and order a set of these as well

Looks they are actually sold out currently for the Tahoe. They only have the XL/suburban in stock. Hopefully the restock while they are still at this price. I will definitely pick some up if I can get them at this price. Thanks for the share
