You can make this yourself



I have both, but I think I am going to cut off the 2 bottom studs and weld 2 new studs or bolts on. I think it will be cleaner in the long run, plus cheaper. Good suggestions though! We were thinking across the same lines!

I also need to alter the mount slightly, to fit the long step brace to my short step bed, but that's not your issue here.

Fortunately, I don't have to alter mine! Since I am a beginner at welding (literally) I think a bolt through the back and welded on will be simpler and easier. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone and helping me think this through! I'll try to take pictures of the finished product when I am done and post here or at the very least on my build thread.
