I have Westin Nerf bars too, I took them off for a while, I can't fit under the front of the truck with them on being it's only 4x2 and I haven't leveled the front yet.

I put them back on after I put on larger wheels and tires, but I still hate them. I'm taking them back off this weekend when I fix my dust shield on the driver's side, it's scrubbing the rotor (it got whacked while changing out the ball joints)

The truck looks cleaner without them and gives the impression it's higher then it is.

Mine are a different style then yours, not much different but they hang down plenty from the cab.

Not sure on the 2nd question??

considering youve had 8 posts, who cares what you think? some of us actually have reasons to put a lift on a 2wd.
