Flared Arches w/ Boards?!

[bozo]

So Im surfing around and see a picture of a 4.8 AND a 4.6 with Flared Arches AND Running Boards. Every dealer Ive spoken to says the two cant co-exist. Well now I know they can. Is there a special part number to order this under? Is it all one piece?

Yes they can co-exist, I have both on my 3.0d. Will post pics later.

Hi Bozo,
Seems like there are a lot of dealers who dont know what they are talking about.
Have a look below at Lemans X5.He also added the flares at the front when he installed the RBs .

Oh man, thats one mean ride...So do the part numbers for the flares differ if you have the running boards? Or can I go out and buy these right now, and worry about the running boards later? And I do mean RIGHT NOW, btw....LOL
