The running boards do a great job of deflecting road debris/dirt/sand from the side/bottom of the truck which is the main reason mine are still installed.

since you live where there is winter. if you take the running boards off keep the mud flaps or invest in sliders that have a tread plate to protect to rockers other wise you will have issues within a couple of winters. From personal experience it is not cheap to fix the rockers. mine is still in the shop getting this repaired. and the cost is way more than mud flaps and sliders.
