Oyi. Tuff crowd. :doh:
I brought this up because, unlike a standard step (or the Bumper Dumper for that matter) the SuperBumper is designed to provide a bit of collapse and rebound and therefore absorb some of the shock of a minor impact. A standard step won't absorb anything, and instead will transfer all of the force straight to your frame... and that's not something any of us want. I wouldn't drive around with a step since I'd rather the bumper do its job in a minor collision, and somewhat protect the frame. The SuperBumper is designed to protect the bumper.
