    Steps on my 819 Pro

    I am sure this has been asked, but which steps are everyone's preference? I think I like the Trick Steps the best from what I have seen from choices, but wanted to get opinions? Also some one on another forum said that with Trick Step you should get the removable bottom step to keep from running it into the bumper of the truck, but didn't see that option on their site at all so was confused about that. If you guys could give me some thoughts I would greatly appreciate it!

    I put the Trick Step on my 819 about 4 months ago and I would defiantly buy them again I did put a 12'' receiver hitch on my F150 to keep it away from my bumper when turning and it's working out great.

    Ok that was what I was wondering about the length of the hitch. I was thinking I could just get a longer hitch and it would push it out away far enough it wouldn't be an issue! Thank you

    I moved my Trick Step from my 721 to my 819 a year ago. On the 721 I did hit the bumper if I jackknifed the trailer. So far on the 819 I have not had a problem. Great product. I am running a normal hitch length, I bought a 12 for the 721, but have not needed it on my 819 and 2016 F150.

    Thanks for the response! I will wait to change which hitch I have now for a longer until I see how close it gets when in tight turns!
