Running Boards ???
Yes the 2015 & up f150 brackets will work on the 2017 super duty steps.
I really like that look. Any idea how much higher the brackets lifted the boards?
Yes I can get my entire foot on the board once the door is open, they are still very usable but not as user friendly as before because the step is so much higher along with the leveling kit i installed. I was willing to sacrifice a little usability for the extra ground clearance and the looks. It did take a few days to adapt to them being so much higher.
I installed DeeZee Rough Step in Aluminum. I like them but they definitely have a more "industrial" look. They also collect mud but are easily washed clean due to the perforated design:

I was wondering about height / function with much of a lift....... Even raising them a little with a 2.5 level.
I don't plan to level or lift, at least for now, so I think this could work great for me. I actually like the stock configuration and feel like the rear may settle a little anyway after putting some load on it. Thanks for all the info!!

I figured they would clean OK but did figure they were a little more industrial looking. But, I wouldn't worry about my foot slipping off, etc.
I was looking at those. They didnt appear to have poly caps on the end like Luverne. They also are cab length, didn't see any wheel to wheel. Luverne has cab and wheel t wheel. Anyway, if I try some of these I will probably try Luverne wheel t wheel.

I should also post that though DeeZee was very good about making it right, the brackets came much later than the steps, box was partially open and 2 of the mounting plates were missing (there are 3 brackets per side but I only received 4 plates (in fairness, I think this was a shipping issue but the box was fairly weak for the weight of the mounting brackets....very solid pieces though, I was impressed). Again, DeeZee was very good about responding but it took 3 shipments to get the order right. The kit comes with standard washers and hex nuts and I had issues with bolts loosening so had to spend a few buck at Lowe's to get lock nuts.
wouldn't mind a part number either. I do like the look of the higher step. Its something I would need to do soon before the wife gets used to the current steps.
I have the extended factory boards on my truck, they are REALLY handy for me since I use the bed of my truck almost daily. It never fails, something has to be a pain and slide all the way to the front center of the bed
Just got back from the dealer to look at the boards. I really liked the "high and tight" look of the 150 and by your pics it looks good on the S/D but...my Queen, who stands 4'10" thought they were too high, and you know the saying... "If momma...
