How hard were the steps to install? I'm looking at buying the same thing and would love to have some insight on the installation process.

Thanks!

On my unit, we had to cut out a bottom portion of two metal plates on each side of the step well so the new steps would mount to the existing holes. They didn't quite have enough clearance. Otherwise no modification.

I suggest a good floor jack to hold up the steps for the installation along with a good hand held metal cutter.

Some should just bolt right up, but best look it over first.

Thanks. It sounds like something to take on. I've noticed that more and more rigs are coming standard with the 4 step versus the 3 step.
