Question:

Would using narrower steps be better, the ones that measure 25 1/4 or should I just cut the the brackets and install it that way? The brackets on my trailer are welded on.

At one point the Flexco Steps part # SMFP-2100 that you referenced were listed as having the same width you need of 26-1/8 inches between the mounting brackets. We now know that the dimension is really 27-5/8 inches. Since we don't have a step that matches directly you'll either need to move your current brackets or have new ones installed with the Outriggers part # LC301704. The steps of this kit have an 8 inch rise whitch is pretty standard and would be a great option.

Either way the brackets would have to be moved. I'd go with the # SMFP-2100 and have the old brackets cut off and either weld on the outriggers or bolt them on. I wish there was a direct replacement for your setup that gives you the amount of steps you want but there's nothing we have at this time that would.
