Yea its kind of perfect. Was gonna say it's like a leg press but not really. Even that loads your lumbar spine. But this does still load your glutes and to a small degree your hams and is pretty much fukking foolproof 
Low Bar vs High Bar vs Front Squats

hip belt =
are you using the same belt you use for weighted dips?
no groin issues doing the squats on the steps?
Nah, I don't go super heavy with it, just by the way it feels if anything were to get hurt it would be your hips since the weight is being supported by them.
High bar, I like it, it works for me, I get results.
I meant if the steps moved while you were squatting
Oh nah, there's no way they could move, I have them on the same kind of rubber padding that gyms. You can get the rubber pad on craigslist, at least in my area you can.
You going to get a hip belt?

I'm cutting and I like to run a lot so I do front squats. They're good for posture. If I was bulking again I would throw back squats back in the mix.
I might
It's a good investment, no matter how good my form was my back would always feel like shyt doing squats.

Been running low bar for 3ish months now. I can go a bit heavier with it but due to my leverages (long limbs, short torso) it exacerbates my problem of doing good mornings when I go heavy. In addition to my frequent benching, my wrists are starting to get some nagging pain. I tried the Rippetoe wrist positioning but it doesn't feel nearly as secure on my back.
I'm uncertain at this point whether I'll keep on with it on my next training cycle or throw it to the bushes and go back to high bar. Or at some point drop the insane bench frequency, which is inevitable

I`m too uncoordinated for front squats
