I'm not home or I would send you a pic. I would venture to say that if our trailer is identical to yours then it should fit. but I understand you need to actually see the installation.

I can go snap some pix of mine. Stay tuned.

Anybody know offhand how much they cost?

Hope the pix help. The winch comes off the stand, the steps slide over top of winch stand. Bolts go back and hold it all together.

They are extremely sturdy....I’m 260 and they done wiggle. I do, they don’t!

Sorry- couldn't figure out how to rotate pix.

Met, thanks for posting. Do these steps come from Allison? I may have to check on price and availability.

Yep- direct from allison. I don’t remember the $$, but I bet Tim Powell knows.

Allison has black and silver steps in stock when I talked to Bill the other day. 450 was the price.

Thanks- Best I have ever owned.....that might be our 15th over the last many years. I pull the boat with the LX 570, great SUV.....

Is 1/4 X 20 the correct size bolt for securing the handle? I have sheared 2 of the single SS bolts and almost lost the handle the second time. I want to try double bolting it. Thanks!

Ok- for anyone interested, the existing hole appears to be slightly larger than 1/4 and slightly smaller than 5/16. I took a 1.5 inch long 5/16 bolt, drilled the post hole out to 5/16, drilled the holes on the handle to 5/16, put a stainless bolt and stainless nylock nut. Cranked it down.........Didn’t even try drilling another hole. This made a huge difference. Very little movement with minimal effort. My favorite kind of projects.

That's a good adjustment and much more reliable too.

how hard was it to drill out the hole on the post? And the hole in the handle?

Drilling the post was easy. The handle was a little harder, but neither was too tough.
