Given that the OEM one (PT392-35920) is rediculously priced, as expected. I finally came across a few aftermarkets on Amazon. They look pretty much identical in parts\design from what i can tell.

Does anyone know though, do any of these bed steps (even OEM) work if you have the ARB recovery points installed?

I don't believe the ARB recovery points will work with the factory bedstep located where it is. I wanted to go with the ARB recovery points but I wanted to keep my step. So I went with Rough Country recovery points.

Wahhh, thats what I thought. It looks like it uses the same surface \ side \ mounting holes for the ARB recovery point. I guess i can just remove that one side, meh, decisions.

I've noticed the aftermarket ones on Amazon are slowly coming down in price where it makes it worth while to buy them. I'd be interested has anybody purchased them and how well they work compared to the OE one. Suspecting here in the snow belt where we get salt and sand that these don't last long in that sort of climate.

I just got one of the Amazon ones, paid $100. It works great, seems solid. When I ordered it my wife thought it was silly. Once I put it on, she likes it. I would recommend. I mean it costs $100 to mount your phone. Install was 10 minutes.

They all appear to be the exact one as the OEM that I paid over $230 for. I’d pay $100 for one of those any day! I’m about to order the Rough Country rear recovery points.

Can you post photos of how it mounts? I'm trying to determine what makes it so it won't work with the arb recovery points installed.

Hopefully the images are useful. Yeah, there is no way to do both. If you look above your recovery hook, you can see a third bolt hole and a "lip" that the step uses as well.
