Default To remove side steps or to keep on?

I have a couple pictures of my truck on my profile to look at if it helps. Im deff gonna remove them when I get my lift on but as of now I just wanted to see what you guys thought. Also is it easy to remove them? How do I remove them? I've never thought about removing them until I seen some of y'all talking about it oh here. Would it give it more of the pickup look(if you know what I mean?)lol.

Just when you get your truck up in the air, Take one side off and leave the other side on,Then take a few steps back, then take a look at it. If you like it off then well you like it off, And vice-versa, In my case some trucks look better off, Some look better on, Just the taste of the owner.

I think they dont look good, but if you or your wife or significat other needs them to get in then keep them, but if you keep them then put some wood grain on the truck,,,,

i like them personally. not only are they functional for my wife to get in the truck but they protect the rockers from rock damage. i like the look of them, call me old if you want. my truck does have woodgrain in the interior so i guess they fit. lol
