Default extend running boards

So I was just wondering if anyone has pushed out their running boards so you can step more on them instead of hanging off? I am thinking about machining some 1" to 2" spacers and just buy some longer bolts to go through the block and into the frame. What does everybody think? Would this work?

I have the stock chrome tubular nerf bars. Its not as easy as just adding a couple spacers. The way my bars connect, it has 2 different attachment points. I have an 09. The 2010 models attach different also. maybe it would be that easy for you but not me. I wanted to lower then 2 inches and bring them out an inch. If you figure it out please post your solution. good luck.

Not sure but I don't see why it shouldnt work. Might even have a muffler shop tack weld the ends of the bar for a little added strength. Give it a try if it don't work u can always go back
