Single Step to Double Steps

Installation of the steps was straight forward.  Elongating the inside holes was a bit hard.  I wound up chucking a rat tail file in the drill and that worked .

My 2017 R-Pod 179 the same - 26" - but those steps slid in between there perfect! There'a a bit of flex I think.
I'm trying to post a detailed reply with photos attached - but I'm having a lot of trouble. I've lost three detailed replies this way, so before I type the details again I want to see if I can at least reply WITHOUT photos - then maybe attach photos to a second reply?
I'd be curious to know if there's a trick to attaching photos. I have benefited GREATLY from the photos I have seen here, and I would like to pay it forward with photos of my own - why does my message box FREEZE up when I click the "Full Reply Editor" and "Image Upload" icons?

I must have had too much open on my computer at once - I finally got the photos to attach! I put the front bolts in first, so I could see where to drill. A 3/8" bit took only a few minutes for each hole - but I had to crawl around a bit to get access to one of them. Use a center punch or a nail to mark the place you want to drill, so it doesn't "drift" on you.
The new double step frame is about 2 1/2" lower than the old step frame - but no more at risk than the back stablilzer jack I think. I'm going to put a lift kit under my axle this winter - that was already my plan BEFORE I got the new steps - to keep those back jacks from dragging on steep entryways, and to protect the "underneath stuff" (tanks, tubes, pipes, and wires!) from road hazards.

I did this mod, best part is my English Bulldog can access without hurting his privates. I did drill new holes in rear (3/8) and eliminated carriage bolts from OEM, works fine and good for me.
