Since the double step is awesome on the muddy stick and of course LW doesn't have a double...my solution (in my head) is to replace one lone wolf top step with the muddy double step. The only issue is that the hole through a muddy stick is slightly large diameter than the lone wolf so obviously the through bolt won't work. In order to remedy this I would be required to drill out the lone wolf hole to fit the muddy hardware. I'm also unsure that the muddy and lone wolf sticks are exactly the same dimensions (wall thickness and OD). I don't own a micrometer but I reckon I could borrow one to make certain. Was wondering if anyone had useful input on this? I'm terrified to scrap a lone wolf stick if the plan doesn't work. I only need to change one top step and I plan to use that as my very top step to get in and out of the stand so I don't have to worry about which side my steps are flipped to the whole way up and it also provides a better platform to hang the stand and do all that work and not have to teeter on one little step. The lone wolf and muddy sticks stack well together so I think it will work but I'm also concerned about making the hole larger by about a 1/16th since it may compromise the strength and I would hate for it to crack under stress.
I have both sets too. I did remove the top step on a lone wolf and replace it with a muddy step. Drill out the step hole to accommodate the muddy steps. The muddy and lone wolf steps are both 1" square tubing.
I have some pics:

Worked out fine. You do have to stack the stick with the muddy step on top. The step is to tall for a stick to stack on top of it. I'm 146 on the scale.
