Can Lag Bolts of Brophy Camper Scissor Steps AS24 Attach to Metal

Question:

Will the lag screws provided with the 4 step sissor steps work by attaching it to my camper bumper 1/8 in steel. Will the lag screws hold it? Not able to use bolts.

The lag bolts that come with the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS24 that you referenced are designed for attaching to wood and not metal. To attach to a bumper you'd be better off using self tapping screws or nuts and bolts if at all possible.
