ARB Rear Recovery Points + OE Bed Step + SXTH Relo Bracket = doesn’t work

[mikeymtbs]

I mean… this should be super easy. Removed the OE bed step, replaced the bed-step mount with the SXTH mount, used the ARB bolts, mounted it up and it just doesn’t fit. The SXTH mount positions the step too close to the recovery point such that it doesn’t retract fully. See pics.

What am I missing… or, did I get a mis-aligned/welded bracket?

Looks to me that maybe the SXTH adapter may not have been made to specification?

I have the same exact set up. ARB recovery points and SXTH bracket. Mine is close but does not touch.

Loosen the three bolts at the top, where the step mounts to the SXTH bracket.
Reposition the step and retighten.

Mine rubs, not a bunch, but enough to rub off the paint on the recovery hook. I expected better for the price.

Installed mine on Saturday. Fit was close, but no rub

Oem bed step? Curious as I have the cheaper Amazon version. I also have the arb recovery points and adapter en route as we speak. Hoping they all work together!

Same Amazon step a lot of others bought.
