Aluminum Scissor Steps Question

I want to install a set of Aluminum Scissor Steps on my Lance camper and hopefully figure out what are the best options - 3 steps or 4 steps? The measurement from the rear bumper to the ground is 29" and I have a Torklift SuperTruss extension that sticks out 4.5" from the bumper. Will the extended steps clear the extension?

I'm hoping that one of you camper owners have a similar situation and have installed the scissor steps without problems.

    I have the Torklift 5 step model and just went out and measured the distance they project from the flush mount on my camper. They extend out to 11" from the camper which is the width of the steps when compressed and 18" down from where they are mounted from the camper. I can send pictures if need be. I do not have a hitch extension as I carry a cargo basket in my hitch adapter.
    From my point of mounting to the camper to the ground is 41" so my camper sits higher than yours.
