Speaker: Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Brophy Tailgate Scissor Step bracket. This bracket is used to mount a set of Scissor stairs to your truck's tailgate. It's going to work with 18 inch and 24 inch Brophy Aluminum Scissor steps. The bracket itself is made from a durable steel construction with a protective finish to keep it safe from rust and corrosion and from the elements. Now when it comes to getting the bracket mounted, it's going to have these L pins back here. You want to measure to distance from the center of one L pin to the center of the other.
This is going to give you the distance between the two holes that need to be drilled in your vehicle's tailgate. Then you would insert the L pins into the holes and rotate the bracket. That's really all there is to it. That's8 going to provide a really great attachment point right here with the hooks for your Brophy Scissor Stairs. For a permanent installation, you can use the pre-drilled or pre-punched holes on each end of the bracket and attaching it to the tailgate with mounting hardware. Mounting hardware is sold separately.
It does come with detailed installation instructions to help walk you through the entire process step by step. Few measurements to go over with real quick. We're going to start with the over-all length of the unit. Measuring edge to edge, it's going to give us a measurement of about 18 1/8 of an inch. The distance that we have between our L pins going center on center, that's going to give us a measurement, it looks to be right on 15 inches. The distance between these mount holes, center on center, that's going to give us a measurement of about 16 13/16 of an inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the Brophy Tailgate Scissor Step bracket..

Mounting bracket for your Brophy scissor steps allows you to attach the stairs to your pickup tailgate. Works with 18" and 24" Brophy scissor steps.etrailer has come through again for me! I needed an additional mounting bracket for my excellent Brophy detachable camper step and Kaylyn got right on it! The Brophy step is really sturdy, stable and very well made. In my case I wanted 2 attachment points on my rear cargo carrier/back deck on our camper and Kaylyn at Etrailer made it happen! I have attached a photo of the carrier with the 2 mounting brackets. (the stairs are not attached because of where it is sitting!). Thanks again to Kaylyn, etrailer, and Brophy! Best regards.
Worked perfect for my application. I did need to modify the bracket slightly (straightened the tailgate hooks on the underside of the bracket) to install on my adjustable camper deck. I wanted the top hanging bracket style so this was the closest I could find. Fit my stairs perfect.
FAST shipping - Thanks . . . .
Worked perfectly well worth the few extra dollars for this mount. I did modify slightly to be able to lock stairs in place, but it was very minor...
What I like:
1) It's compact for easy storage when not needed.
2) It's well built and firmly attaches to my tailgate.
3) It works great for steps to our truck camping tent, see attached photos.
What I don't like:
1) The 6" gap between the top step and the tailgate. I've filled it in with a block of wood but eventually like to replace that with a bent aluminum plate.
Exactly what I needed to complete a little fabrication project
The steps and bracket for our pick-up camper work great. I am only disappointed in the fact that the description for the steps did NOT state that this bracket is necessary to use on a tailgate and i had to order it separate after receiving the steps. i then had to pay expensive overnight shipping rates to get the bracket in time to use on a planned camping weekend. this added a lot of extra expense when i could of ordered it with the steps. you should have a statement in the description of the steps clarifying this.
Attached it to the back of truck camper under the door. Works great and attaches to steps easy.
Excellent product! Installation was very straight forward and simple to do on my own. Product has made installing and removing my camper steps a breeze. Thank you for a great product, would recommend to anyone.
Good product with clear instructions. I had it mounted within 20 minutes of opening game the box. It gives solid a stable supports for the 24" wide steps I used it with.
The bracket works great instructions were easy to follow. The shipping was great and good customer service thank you.
It seems like we have two of these now. Bought this because it said many people purchase this, but there seems to already be one that came with the steps...
Strong bracket
Good and strong
Heavy duty and exact fit

put this on the tailgate in the down position and mounted steps to that. makes a great porch to the camper now with the handrail as well
Don't usually do reviews but was pretty disappointed in the finish of this product. Although it seems well built the silver paint it is coated in was horrible. Fingerprints fused into the finish from handling it wet. Quality control needs to be adjusted.
This mount allows too much movement in the stairs. It seems like it should have tighter tolerances.
This bracket is very sturdy and easy to install. It was delivered in a couple days as described in original order. Great job.
Good customer service. Product looks good quality
Smooth transaction and exactly the product I needed to get my stairs working.
Does what it was designed to.
