Question Trailer entry step recomendations

I didn't order the OEM entry step due to it being only 5" below the deck (still too high for the lazy )

Looking for recommendations on aftermarket installs done by this brain trust.

TIA

My favourite (though I haven't bought one) is the RaceRamps trailer step. It just sits on the ground, though.

Mine folds out and feels very flimsy, but has stood up to the task. It even has a micro switch on it in case you want to have some sort of warning go off if you drive away with it lowered. But is not wired. I'll get brand later today.

i had one of those. They are not very stable, and my SO kept telling me to get rid of it. I finally did after it caused a buddy to fall. I'm still hearing about it from Pam. I don't recommend them at all. I replaced it with this:

MUCH better.

Well, I'm more interested in one that attaches to the trailer then one that has to be tied down in the trailer. I'm using a cut up 2 x 8 right now (way cheaper than those other stand alones) but don't like the inherent wobble on grassy ground (which is never totally flat even so it might look like it)

But keep'em coming.

Thanx

I like this one. Not sure if you can get them in the US anymore.
