The Brophy Scissor Step Bracket # TSSB will install on the edge of your tailgate. You will have to drill two holes for the L shaped pins. After drilling, all you have to do is simply insert the L pins into those holes and attach you Brophy steps! For permanent installation, use the hardware that comes with your scissor steps and drill holes where the mounting holes are. I am adding a picture that demonstrates how to install using the L pins.
If you follow the link # TSSB this will take you to the page that the Brophy tailgate scissor step bracket is, from here you can add that item into your shopping cart.
We also carry a few different versions of the Brophy 4 step scissor steps. I recommend either the 24 inch wide # AS24 which can support up to 300 lbs, or the 18 inch wide # AS04 which can support up to 250 lbs. They are both made of aluminum which will resist rust so they will hold up better if it rains.
We do offer a steel version of the 18 inch wide # SS04 which is powder coated to resist corrosion. If you decide to go with this option, I recommend trying to keep the steps dry so that they last longer if that powder coat gets damaged later on.
I have added some demonstration videos for you as well.
