I took them off my truck and they strip just pulled off with no problem. Then I took some 3M adhesive remover and my thumb and rubbed it off. It was really easy and there was no body dammage. There is another post with some more information. I started the thread Ill look for it and then send you the link.

easy enough, did about five off the new tahoes recently and it took like 1 hour... after you get it off use some solvent wd40 whatever degreaser to get the rubber off then some polish to take any scuffing off of the paint...

Let your truck sit in the sun and get warm or hot and they will peel off real easy.
