I am sure that would be difficult to get into. I was wondering if you had thought about those power step running boards. Those go down to get in but raise up out of the way once you are in.

Agree, the Amp steps come to mind first. That seems like the best solution as they drop down further than all the stationary options and retract out of the way. They aren't without their flaws, but it seems better than having a stationary step hanging that low 100% of the time.
