Ok all you machinist guys

I got a rapid hitch for Christmas and I am wondering if it is a feesible idea for a step to be used in place of the ball when I am not towing. I think it would be good for lifted trucks.
Is there also a lock available for the slide piece that holds the ball.

So are you asking if you can use a step that engages the "teeth"

I'm thinking he wants the exact same setup as what's in the picture, except instead of having 2 balls on either side, it'd just have a step?

I could take the ball assembly out when I'm not towing and put a step in there. It would still use the same slide part that adjusts up and down.

OK...seriously :D ...I think it's a good idea. I know that with a 3" lift, and 35" tires on my Expedition, I'm always climbing on my hitch to get in the back. Stroker's right, though...gotta watch your shins! :cry:

Actually it would probably be more like my knees. But you are right. I have thought about it though.
