Mine worked perfectly with an Amazon purchase. Not even close to a rub and doesn't hang over the fender either. They do have dozens of models out there and I might guess that the version you bought may not be aligned the same an OEM step. It might be fine for a truck without a recovery hook, but not with one using the bracket.

For reference this is the one I bought:

My truck has the OE/Toyota step - it was a port installed option. Hopefully the replacement bracket from SXTH solves the issue.

I have confidence tha that it will fit as the bracket was designed for it. The clones that deviated too much from the Toyota bracket are a crap shoot, but I assume most of them will still work.

I have the complete SXTH RRP setup w/relocate on my TH. No rub but I’m not impressed with its parallel alignment in relation to the ARB bumper once stowed. I guess you have to really look to notice it but for 3+ bones you’d think they get the cosmetics dialed.

That said, the SXTH hooks are really nice & far lighter than the ARB cast iron OEs on my TH

Mine has the same issue. It tilts right versus what I thought it should do and tilt left so it matches the bumper.

Did they take 5 weeks to ship? I’m gonna ask for a solid discount on the part that received or have them send me a replacement that actually looks good before leaving a review.
