Torklift steps
Google found the old topic here about step installation, but for some reasons it is closed, so can't add to it.
I did not like any solution so thinking it over come to design that gives me all the options I want.
Using small pieces of aluminium bar that come with installation kit, I used them to make moving hinges from my original step. This way the Torklift steps rest firmly on the top of my bumper when on the road and even I did not try it, likely they will stay there with no additional fasteners ( I still will use a strap as our bumpy roads can send everything airborne) and when I want to enter the camper quickly, I can just drop the factory step down with Torklift still attached.
The setup gave me even 7" steps from top of the bumper all the way down to the ground. Step from the door to bumper still is 9", but there is not much I can do about it.
What you don't see on the picture, I used a spacer between Torklift bar and factory steps to make space for bolt head to go between. I used bigger nut for it.
I am big fan of stainless steel fasteners for RV so all the pins and washers are SS.
