Pretty simple and the RT jacks can be upgraded anytime with motorized heads (when your wallet allows it).
HIJACKER JACK REBUILD MANUAL
I run manual RT's and use my DeWalt 18 volt cordless drill to raise and lower them. Reliability seems to be a concern, though! Maybe the Atwoods have a better reputation. I do like the idea of electric jacks though, in that it'd definitely cut down on the time taken to jack up (and lower) the camper. Interesting, Reddog1 - I hadn't heard about jack extensions.
To reinstall the lift, I will have to widen it and make some modification for the added height of the 4x4.
I bought a DRW 4x4 this year and had to go back to my hydraulic jacks.
HIJACKER JACK REBUILD INSTALL
It took a couple of days doing the install with no help. I installed a Stable Lift on my 1988 11.5 foot Bigfoot TC for my 2WD Dodge 2500. I've looked at the Stablelift system and think it'd be ideal for my situation, but the installation process (and cost) seems a bit prohibitive for an older camper. They bolt to the bottom pads of your existing jacks. I have about 4" extensions on my hydraulic jacks that have been there since 1988. Why not just add 6" extensions to your existing jacks? I've looked at the Stablelift system and think it'd be ideal for my situation, but the installation process (and cost) seems a bit prohibitive for an older camper.Ĭan anyone recommend some reliable jacks that would bolt onto the existing mounting plates? Even better, some good reliable electric jacks? The Happijacks are the only electric jacks i'm aware of, but people seem to complain about them breaking a lot. The Hijackers are too short to reach the ground with my truck (F350 with 4" riser in the bed so the camper clears the cab) so I always have to block them with stumps, etc. Currently I have to budget a couple hours for the whole process, and I want to cut down on that considerably. I'd like to replace the old Hijacker jacks on my old Northern Lite camper to make it easier to pop the camper on and off.
