Running Boards / Step Bars

Q: Using the Build and Price tool it appears that for F350 XL/STX I can get black 'running boards' or chrome 'step bars'. My understanding is that they mount and are in alignment/drop equivalent to approximately the center hubs of the wheels.
I have seen many dealer in-stock photos where these boards/tubes are cropped-up close to the rocker panels, something that I do NOT want.
How can I assure that ordering either will be delivered with the 'drop' mount?

Thank you.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help with this, but worse case, you can ask your dealer to offer IN WRITING, the correct running boards you want.

I haven't personally seen stock running boards on a SD that are up close to the rocker panels....all I have seen have a good drop on them.

You need to go to a dealer and look at some of them to determine if they are the ones you want.

I saw on another thread that what I am seeing is owners who replaced the factory brackets with those of F150x, that crops the step up to the rocker panel.

F150 boards are tight to the door. Stock superduty steeps drop much lower. A lot of people put the f150 steps on there superdutys, I would guess that’s what you seen. I put Raptor running boards on my f350. I like the tighter look.
