Well, I refused to pay the local RV dealer $899 to install these. I found them on the web for $299 and ordered them. They arrived Wednesday, but the wife and I did not attempt the install until today.

I just have one burning question.......................How in the world did you guys get the whole thing installed in 3 hours??? We spent three hours just installing the front middle swivel thing, the two clevis's that go on the front legs, and just one front side's spacer thing. We were so worn out after doing that that we decided to rest and get after the rest of it this week. You 3 hour guys must be superhumans. I'm definitely envious.

I'll probably have more questions after we get going again so don't anyone go anywhere!!

When it's all finished, let us know how they work. My 5'er moves alot when my M-I-L is waddling, I mean walking inside. I might have to install some just to stabilize it better.

Comes with everything you need to take care of front and back. All you have to know is if your rear jacks are scissors or the telescoping type. Very little difference accept for a couple of bolts.

Yep, ordered mine from RV Wholesalers. Ordered them one day and they were delivered 2 days later. Very happy with the shipping. Now with this lack of daylight savings time, I find I do not have any time in the afternoon to do the other side and the rear. Sounds like a Saturday finishing job to me.

I wouldn't worry about how long it takes, so long as it is done right.

On another note, I did not realize exactly how much I appreciated those JTs until I stayed in a friend's camper over the past weekend. I felt like I was on the high sea whenever someone moved. Guess I am spoiled and don't know it!
