Factory Running Board Brackets
Does anyone have a complete set of the factory brackets to mount running boards? My neighbor gave me his from his Superduty. His mounts work, but hang wayyyyyyy too low. I need to get them up to normal height so I don't rip them off while cruising around the farm.
Yeah, I see that on every website I've checked. Wouldn't even have the steps on the truck, but my 5 year old has a hard time getting in...he also adamantly refuses help. I'm going to leave them mounted low for now. Better than nothing.
It just so happens... I have brand new running board takeoffs (removed before delivery) from my 2020 STX. The dealer still has them... wrapping them up nice and hopefully finding me a box they will fit in. I will probably pick them up (and the truck) on Monday. I haven’t researched a fair selling price yet. Shipping expense may be cost prohibitive to send to Georgia? PM me if you are interested.
If you've got a few tools, you can shorten those superduty brackets. The lower mount of the bracket is easy, drill new holes, and cut off the excess. For the upper mount, cut off the excess, then bolt in a piece of flat bar or plate, using angle aluminum to attach to the sides that remains.
