I know some folks have been cutting there sticks 20 or 22 inches from top. But I went the opposite direction for a 24 inch stick and 21 inch between steps. It's real easy.
Cut 24 inches from the bottom. You will need to drill 5 holes. Two step holes with a 1/4 inch bit. A stand off hole with a 1/4 bit. A versa button hole (I chose to use a 1/4 versa button). A bumper hole with a 5/32 bit (then I threaded with 10-24 bit). The trick here for the top bumper is to use a spacer to fill that 5/16 hole from the original versa button. I used an aluminum spacer with 5/16 OD, 0.192 ID, 7/8 length. I know I'm not explaining it in detail. But it should be enough to get ya'll started.
I took ideas from @DaveT1963 and @g2outdoors.
