    Being somewhat old and a tad decrepit, I'd say leave them on. However, that's only because I wouldn't be able to get in or out without them. Otherwise, decide what you like and go from there. You can always take them off, or put them back on, later if you change your mind.

    N-fabs look good. But without a lift, I’m not sure how they’d look. That’s just my opinion though. I have them on my truck and they do make my truck look tougher.

    I just installed NFab podiums on my 2019 yesterday. This will give you an idea of how they look w/o a lift. My lift and new 35's won't be installed until this Thursday.

    I chose them because of the 5 year finish warranty... and because NFab's production shop is only about 5 miles from my house. Easy install by myself with a couple of jack stands.

    Personally I never liked the looks of steps. I prefer sliders or nothing. I’d have probably smashed those already lol. At stock hight or minimal lift with average tires, they just look out of place to me. But I’m also a believer in function first. They don’t look horrible, just not my style. If you use them, keep them or find something you like. I think Tyger makes a useful but sleek step. Looks like a slider but its not.

    I have a wife with big boobs and short legs. I'm 6'3" and don't need steps... but also installing a 5" lift on Thursday. That's why the steps... also to give more door dings than I get. :D
