Ruthie, I like the idea of raising the height of your step too, but I don't think that'll impact your squat all that much. My thoughts on the squats are that they are just a new lift for you. You'll build up in strength over time. Also, if you're very flexible you might have some instability issues that could limit your squat (maybe?). Just keep adding weight slowly as you feel confident to do so.
