It's possible to keep the running boards on there if you want to. I used a straight edge to follow the line of the wheel well down and traced the angle across the steps with a sharpie. Took the boards off and trimmed them on a table saw using an abrasive blade tilted to the traced line. A rubber mallet was used to flatten the vertical mud flap part of the steps so they would reach back and attach to the leading edge of the step.

Yeahhhh I think you are more talented than I am. I ended up ordering a set of nerf bars. Your work looks amazing.

Love the rallys! They were my first choice but I need the unobtainium 8-lug version.

Got the lift and tires done. Had to remove the factory running boards but it clears just fine and works great on the rally wheels.
