As a follow-up to this exit step problem, I remove the step Assembly and purchased some 2“ x 2“ buy 3/16” Angle iron and bolded supports to the original thin gauge metal (it’s either 14 gauge or 16 gauge sheet metal) that drops down to support and bolt to the steps. Reinstalled the steps, and problem solved. There is still the typical “spring” that the steps are notorious for, but immensely more stable than they were from the factory. I am happy with the modification; it works great. If we’re parked in one spot for a period of time, I also put an aluminum stand, a block or spacers under these steps to keep them from this notorious springing sensation as they’re being used.
