The landing jacks on my trailer have the pins facing the front instead of the sides. Does anybody know if I can install the JT's with this configuration?

The pin placement for the landing jacks should not be an issue. I am not at my 5er but I believe the bolt is below any pin holes.

Just installed mine, my brother in law just ordered his set. He said his holes are with the camper length(mine are across) Just turn the U bracket 90 deg. The U tabs will face each other between the legs.We are planning on doing this on his rig this wknd.

Should not be a problem, but call JT to be sure.

They work either way. Mine was like yours so I used the U-bracket struts for the cross frame, and the other struts to run down from the main frame to connect to the U-Bracket.

There should also be a long chrome nut that you can use as a handle to raise your landing gear.

I second the suggestion to call them if you're unsure. They are super to work with. I received the wrong size T-bolt and called them, they had one at my house within just a couple of days. Great after sale service.

I did and it appears to be a simpler system. It works as advertised on my Cedar Creek. Just my .02.
