The lowest profile roof rack that fits the bare roof on your 2021 Ford F-150 SuperCrew is the Thule WingBar Evo system that only adds about 3-1/2" to the height of your truck. Here are the parts you need:

60" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711520
Evo Clamp Feet - # TH710501
Fit Kit - # TH29TX
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)

If you check out the 2:18 minute mark of the linked installation video of this same system on a 2018 F-150 you'll see where we take the height measurement. Also, if you let me know what you'll be using the roof rack for I'd be more than happy to make an additional recommendation for you!
