side skirts
 

I was wanting to remove the side skirts or ground effects or whatever they are called nowdays from my 97 4 door jimmy. It looks like they cover a big section of body panel that will be exposed if i do so. so before i did this i was wanting to know if this section of the body panel is a bolted removable section or can be cut off if its not??.. cosmetic beauty is really not a big issue since its basically a puddle jumper/deer lease/farm truck. im just looking to give the appearance of being taller. Thanks for any advice, and my apologies if this is a topic covered many times over, i did search around but im new here
