You’re right, I should give them a call. I forgot all about this until today, when I received the email about this thread!

The running boards have sensors to detect weight and pressure (for safety purposes), they turn off when they stop moving. They are not designed to reach a specific location! I love them and so does my 86 year old Dad.

Fixed! I cut a POM plastic Block 1-7/8 x 1-1/2 x 9/16 from a wear strip acquired years ago and Drilled a 3/16 hole in the step mount. Attached with #10 x 1-1/2 machine screw. Fits like a glove and stops the step at the perfect height. 1 block on each side next to the motor.

At some point I believe Amp Research changed their design from tucking under to covering the rocker panel. These mounts are well machined and probably all exactly the same, they just haven’t considered slight modifications in the next generation Ranger.

That was my first thought, some type of rubber pad, but after the panel started denting, I knew rubber wasn’t the answer.

You can’t shim the rear because the two mounting bolts are 90deg off or perpendicular on the Ranger.

The "Power Step" running boards raise with such force that they slam into the bottom of the rocker panel on the motor side of each board. You can see the marks and dents as a result of this impact in the photos. RealTruck's response was: "Try jumping up and down on that side to bend them down"...
