    Ok,

    I made a similar post in the past, but now I need a different suggestion...

    should I have a metal shop fabricate some brackets so I can essentially lower my OEM running boards, or should I buy some Nerf Bars from N-Fab?

    I have these ones... (image pulled from google)

    I think ether one will do if he will be driving offroad . Rock crawling....different story. Kind of hard to find rocks in FL though. Probably occasional rides on the beach?
    Why are you looking for lower boards? How high is your truck?
