I was afraid people would ask. Not an easy modification. Start with the Brophy 2 step. Cut the bottom step and bracket off and then cut the step off of the removed bracket. Discard the removed bracket. Figure needed geometry and bend new lower bracket from 2" x 1/2" steel and weld tube on for hinge pin. Weld removed step onto new bracket. I wanted to use step in up or down position so I made another diamond plate and welded it to the original step, kinda like a tube. Weld tabs onto receiver tube for hinge pin. Weld modified spring loaded pin gate catch on upper bracket and mating tab onto lower bracket for pin to lock. Hinge pin is 1/2 SS bolt with nylock nut. Install rubber bumpers onto upper step for no clanging when folded Powder coat with semi gloss black wrinkle finish. Attach with locking anti rattle hitch pin. There you have it!
These steps are the perfect height for my rig and when fold the license plate is still fully visible. They are rock solid with the anti-rattle hitch pin with zero rocking side-to side.
I couldn't find anything like this available and thought about producing them commercially, but didn't think the demand would be that great. Wouldn't be inexpensive either.
