Default Bumper Steps and the Proximity Sensor?

Hi,
Does anyone know if Bumper Steps like one below, trigger the sonar/proximity sensors? (That would be bad... )

Amazon - Bumper Step Amazon - Bumper Step

Any other experiences with this type of product?

Hey, i actually just installed my today for parking purposes, people in Brooklyn have no idea how to park. Pretty happy with it, sensor is fine they do not beep when im backing up or as im driving. I believe with a bull bar ( for the front bumper) you have to disable parking sensor because it will be beeping.

I purchase Curt tow hitch and this is the bar

There was a good bar i like, its like a double-step, a friend of my got but i thought it was going to be a little big on GX ( he uses it on his F150), i could snap pictures if you want.

This is what ive got

P.S. Excuse the filthy car, trees are blooming so as soon as i wash it - it goes green lol


P.P.S. I also got this
Amazon Amazon
just to make sure people don't steal it, my neighborhood is getting worse each day, ive had my front license plate bumper shock frame stolen, the actually pin that goes with the bar is not very secure to my likings.
