Replacement Quad Step Recommendation for a 2016 Forest River Wildcat

Question

Question:

I have a 2016 Forest River Wildcat fifth wheel. I had a little accident with the steps. It looks like I need to replace them. they are the quad step version. I see that you have a couple of choices- Lippert and another brand. Do you know if these would be replacements for the damaged steps?
