I think that if you angle out the center risers, you also have to angle out the side risers to have symetry.

In retrospect, I think the original design is good, the suggested design blends TOO well, and is lost in the truck's lines....

The original design LOOKS like aggressive extra protection, the angled design is almost invisible.

And Hell Yeah! - I'd like my tires to be able to reach EVERYTHING, the more tire you can see, the better.
