Picked up a 2021 with factory running boards already installed. To me they seem too high to where they are awkward. 2-3" drop would be ideal. Is there such a thing as a lowering bracket? Or do I have to go to aftermarket ones?

Is your truck lifted? I have a ‘22 1500 with air ride and the off road package ( truck sits 1” higher ) and I find them to be a good height.
Amp did have extended ones that would do what you want (if they still make them), but you will lose the integration with the radio that the factory boards have.

Oh my bad, I don’t know why, I was thinking you had the power boards. Yes, the tube steps are high as I had them on previous 1500s. Good luck with your search. I will say that power boards are so much more useful, but they do come with a price!

Spends too much time on here
The factory power boards are expensive, but I will never have anything else. The come down probably 2 or 3 inches lower, and have a wider step. My 5'4" girlfriend gets in easily, and I just had a left knee replacement, and don't think I would have been able to get in for at least a month longer, after surgery, with the bolt on boards.
