Smile Tailgate step install??

We just purchased a new 2012 F 350. Love it, however when shoping forgot about getting one with a step. Have found step and handle available (OEM) but need to know how hard/easy to install it on our current tailgate. I gather from another post the handle part is easy but what about the step itself?

The gate is totally different and it will require a complete tailgate swap. It can't be installed in a standard gate.
