driver side foot step support?? aftermaket?

Post#1 » Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:43 pm

I notice my seat takes some stress from me coming and off the 460. At stock level and me 6'0 tall, I still find myself jumping off the truck to avoid putting stress on beautiful plat fabric seat. I don't want to install step boards, so I'm entertaining the idea of a small foot step like the one on the defender 90's to get better footing coming off the 460. Anyone done anything similar here?

Yes that's exactly what I'm looking for. If you can kindly share the part# please? I have to find a place here in Jersey for the custom bracket

Something like that, but spring loaded up against the body would be a good seller. Best of both worlds. Decent clearance and an accessible step.

I’m working on something like that for the future. Could not find a solution spring loaded that would mount up and be flush and be able to mount nicely.

I’ll find the part number and send it to you and check if we made a duplicate mount bracket or not tomorrow.

There is a spring loaded step made for JKs, Hide-a-step. If you used a heavy enough gauge l-bracket you could likely adapt it to be frame rather than body mounted.
