A dodge doesn't have much of a rocker ....there's like a 1/2 inch difference between being doored or rockered. Mine does look different aired all the way up but I don't think it looks bad.....that's one of the many reasons I wanted my ride height so low. I don't regret doing yet....But i think when it's painted ill regret it. Same with the ride height.....The thought of a ride height at 3 inches is awesome....then you have it and you bottom out in so many place...and it's not the frame bottoming out...its the bottom of your doors...or fenders...or rollpan...or bedsides. Just alot to protect whenever you throw a 5k paint job on it....

The only thing with going to the doors like someone mentioned earlier is it is a stepside bed.....its like rocker on 24s and the top of the  fender will be about an inch above the bodyline ...it may end up looking odd....unless a smaller tire is used and that kinda sux on billets in LA anyways...... that fleetside is bada** though

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by choppedn22dDoor it. But leave1/2 inch so you can open your door, thats what I did. Also if your gonna stock floor your gonna make more work for yourself if dooring it. I fyou traditional it then your losing all types of legroom. I body dropped mine twice. So if your considering it you might as well do it because youll regret not doing it in the first place. But the only way I would ve doored mine was if I chopped the top so in my case they came as package or nothing at all.Also my rockers dont just end and look cut off, The 1/2 inch is the rocker i built to make it roll under and look stock. Im sorry I dont have any pics of the rocker I built. 

---------------------------------------------the idea i had way back when i wanted to door mine was stock floor to the body and then traditional the 2 or so inches to the door that way you still have room for exhaust and what not but you wont need a Gurney bubble, have to steer with you knees or run a 1'' oval exhaust

Good luck going to the doors with a stepside. Id say run rocker. Less to worry about.
