Folding Hitch Steps
Does anyone have any experience with these steps, they look like a good design. Hitch Steps

I like the idea, but have reservations about it. First, my Dodge RAM has a 3 inch lift, 35 inch tires and is already the highest elevation bed of the big 3 even without that stuff.
So, I think the first step would be a deal breaker. No qualms about using our 20 inch hitch extension. The departure angle of the TC is important to me and these folding steps would reduce that angle, which is only a problem about 1% of the time when off road. Maybe just remove them when clearance is needed. About the surface: why not just attach some rubber traction pads the same size as the step? Yes, the website is a bit low on specs and whether there is any variation. Also, I had a problem trying to find pricing.

made something like this about 10 years ago, but it had smaller 6 inch round off-set step pads. It was foldable.
Our latest steps for our rig is a cut down version of the 4 step Little Giant. It works well when stealth camping in the city as it is just hanging on the hook when we're inside.
