Hitch Step Recommendation with Step Lower than Hitch Tube
Question:
Hello, My father wants me to get him a bump step Christmas, and he also wants it to be lower than the receiver which is about knee height. I am looking at receivers to lower the bump step, but am worried that they will push the bump step out far away from the truck. Would I want to use a receiver to lower the bump step, or is there another product that I should look for? Also, please recommend locking pins that I could use with the bump step + receiver/other product. Thank you in advance.

I believe we have just what you are looking for. Check out the Brophy Hitch Step part # RHS2. This actually has two steps. One lower than the hitch shank and one that sits above it. This would not require any hitch adapters to get a step lower than the hitch tube.
For a locking hitch pin we have the part # e98880 which would work well.
