Unintended consequences. My recent 3" rear lift on my Dodge has worked out well. Having more clearance for the giant whoops on the Mojave Road excluded my side nurf bars/steps from getting more hammered than they already are. Oh, but at what cost?
Now the TC entry Glow Steps are too short. I had a pair of new snubbers (bump stops) left over from my jeep days and figured they could bridge the gap. I measured, drilled, and bolted the snubbers onto the bottom of the last rung. Looked good on paper; Not so, scissor breath. the steps were parallel to the ground, a plus:


When i stepped on the first step the the rubber compressed leaning to one side in a wobbly fashion. If these had been Stable Loads maybe there would be no wobble. Back to the drawing board. It's not enough difference to add a step. So now i'll punt and use my add-on bars from my old steps: (those 4 parallel bars sticking out to the left)
