I think it's against the law to keep them on (unless your driving a conversion van).

There's only one way to remove a running board: have nature remove it for you. Get wheelin', my friend...

Take them off while it's a choice ... if you wheel, they're coming off, better when you control the means....

Like above, leave 'em off. Get some fender flares, or cheapo mud flaps at kragen/autozone to avoid the rock chips on your paint.
