Runnning Boards
 

I have a 2000 BLazer 4 dr. with runnning boards, i think it would look alot better without the running boards on, but people have been telling me theres a risk in doing that. Is there any risk of damaging parts,or problems with the frame?

RE: Runnning Boards
 

No there isn't!! By removing the running boards all it really does is expose the frame and lower body to offroading incidents, but if you don't seriously rock crawl or anything I would just take them off!!!

I will never rock crawl with this thing, i was at a dif. wesite an asked the same question, i was getting answers like if i do my frame could break or it was the major support for the frame an all that stuff. Thanks i will probably be takin them off when i put on the shackles or 2" suspension lift.

LOL whoever said your frame will break should smack themselves in the head for that answer!!!! Its a bolt on accessory that doesn't impact your frames strength or make it weak!!

Most running boards don't even mount to the frame! Have a look at how they mount. My old Bravada came with running boards and I removed them the first chance I got. They always got in the way. My Rainier was the same way. They are hanging in my garage. Neither of these vehicles had the running board attached to the frame.

Kyle's right about the mounting location but I have seen some that are mounted to the frame, the ones not mounted to the frame are a waste imo!!!:eek:

So taking them off will just expose the frame? Will i get any ground clearance?

RE: Runnning Boards
 

No it will not add to ground clearance unless they hang below the frame!!!

Thanks for all the help, hopefully i can get them off in the next couple of days.
