Can I leave these steps on my 2001 Tundra while driving? My tailgate will be off and I will have a four wheel camper on my bed.

Expert Reply:

Technically, you could leave the hitch stair steps, # RHS2, mounted in the hitch while you drive. But it is going to affect ground clearance since the lower step is several inches below the receiver. I advise also adding an anti-rattle device such as # RM-061.
