Do you guys think it is the same with my WDT Tahoe (un-balanced)? I do like the look of the Denali running boards but I honestly don't know if I can handle anymore chrome on my truck! I really want to get the mirrors painted to break it up.

No because you have chrome rims and door handles too I believe.
When I remember looking at your truck when you first got it I loved it I think I told you too.

I think that the Esky rack REQUIRES chrome along the running boards. Otherwise, the truck looks top-heavy to me. I initially put the Esky rack on my truck, left it on for about a week before determining that it didn't look right, took it off, took a while to bit the bullet and get Denali/Esky running boards, and then put the rack back on. Now I think the truck looks pretty good.

That's just how my eye works...

That is well stated! :Handshake:
The perfect balance of chrome with wheels is the rack, running boards, and center line (molding and/or handles).

2011Tahoe, your Hoe is sick and I think it looks great without, not that it would look bad with the chrome on the boards. Painted mirrors FTW!!

Macho, I'm jealous of your rails! I need to find some cross rails. Thanks for the compliment buddy, I can't wait to see yours in the spring.

Yw! Ditto! I'm glad you said you we're jealous of my rails and not my RACK. That could have been akward... :D

[/COLOR]After washing the truck with the new rack installed, I've decided to go black on chrome. Thanks for all the input guys, it really does help. Here are some pictures;

Seriously tho, the black and chrome looks good. I think the chrome wheels will really set it off

It was a hard battle!! Door handles, mirrors, and running boards are all on the way already. But I'm not getting rid of any of my black parts incase I change my mind this summer ;)
