It sounds like you're asking if the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Uprising Steps w/ Booster Step # TLA9005 will work where your previous Morryde steps were.

If this is what you're asking, you'll just have to take a couple of measurements to determine that.

What you're going to need to do first is measure the door sill plate. This measurement needs to be between 5/8" and 3/4".

Next, you're going to need to measure the door sill plate clearance. You're going to need to make sure that you have a minimum of 3/8".

Continuing on, you're going to need to determine the number of steps you'll need. To do this, you'll have to measure from the top of the door sill plate to the ground.

Finally, you'll need to determine your step width. To do this, locate the door frame width on your factory label, or you can measure in between the door frame flanges.

For these steps to work, you're going to need a doorway that is at least 28" wide.

The last thing you'll need to figure out if you don't already know is how many steps you're going to need. To do this, you'll need to measure from the mounting point to the ground..

These steps will fit 28" wide doorways, and an entry height of 34-7/8"-42-3/8".

If you're having trouble, let me know and I'd be happy to walk you through it. I have also attached a couple of images that should help you out as well.
