Hitch Step Recomendations

Hi,

I'm looking for recommendations on a hitch step.

So far I like the Bully Bar with the lights or the Smittybilt beaver step, pics below.

What do you have? Any input would be appreciated.
TIA

 

I don't have one but the weather tech caught my eye previously.

 

Is the one without the lights Smittybilt? that one is sharp, I may get that for myself.

 

The lights is the Bully Bar

 

I really like how the bullybar looks. I am not a fan of the quality however.

The glue on mine started coming off and the light began dangling.

I’ve also seen where they rust out - not min but on other trucks

 

I have the smittybuilt. It came a little to glossy for my liking couple of coats of bed liner spray and it was good to go.

 

Some of the reviews said it was loose in the receiver. Was this a problem with yours?

 

A little loose until I added the spray on bed liner

 

I have the Smitty as well. It is a little loose but not terrible. I usually only put mine in this time of year, not for a step but to hopefully protect my rear end. People here are lousy winter weather drivers, so if i get bumped, with any luck I'll do more damage than they do

 

I take mine off and only run my trailer hitch for the same exact reason

 

I added the Smittybilt yesterday and the fitting is a little sloppy. What have you guys done to get a better fit in the hitch?

 

I parked my truck at the very front, close to a foot over the red line and this car behind me pulled up fast enough and got a little too close to my truck. Of course they didn't leave a note. A few people witnessed it and were kind enough to let me know that my truck was hit.

 

COOL!!

 

I have the gator step, love it.

 

That’s what they get. Imagine how close they would’ve gotten if your step wasn’t there. I want one on the front and the back LOL be great for those parallel parking spots I’m always afraid someone’s going to hit me.

 

Please if you have one of these can you post pics? Great thread.

 

I sprayed my smittybilt with bed liner from a rattle can and took most of the play out.

 

Yes it was, I do like it though. Put some spray on bed liner or rubberized electrical tape to make it a little bit bigger and it is GTG. Mostly use it to keep people from bumping the back of the truck.

 

If it is for protection, then Monster Hook works well. It's pretty hefty. (I already have a bed step, so I don't need another step)

 

These are available for less than $15

 

My bully step was very tight fit, it did come with some pads to tighten the fit incase it was loose

 

They drive lousy in the winter in WI? Come to Colorado and check out the idiots here! 70 percent are transplants.

 

This seems the most unobtrusive

 

More info?

 

I have the Weathertech Hitch Step

 

fbingha

go rhino is the brand, black powder coated

These are great for protection as stated but useless once the tailgate is flipped down?
IMHO

 

I have a Bully Bar without the lights... it works for me, but I do like that Beaver tail.
