question for the guys laying running boards

Are you letting the board brackets hold the truck up or do you have some sort of bump stops limiting the drop.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: question for the guys laying running boards

we built front and rear bump stops so that the running board brackets are 1/2" above the ground.just enough to roll.

Thanks. I was thinking bump stops, rear will be easy I'll just mout one under the notch. I guess for the front I'll have to get a little creative

Magnesium pucks, so when the air drops out at speed you shoot sparks for blocks.
