Adding stabilizer jacks

[travelin texans]

We've had both the Spledide Ariston combo w/d & the stackable pair & honestly did notice either of them running or disturbingly shaking the 5er. Although neither were in the clothes closet at the nose, but rather a dedicated w/d closet nearer the stairs.

Identical problem on our Alpine after we added the Lippert 6 point. We used the Harbor freight large jack stands which worked well. Unfortunately the new one leaked as well and we used them again waiting a second time. Still like the Lippert system but when sxxt happens.....................

Latest update
I returned the scissor style jacks and bought two stack jacks .
I also called Lippert and explained I had been working with a mobile tech to get this jack replaced since January
I was one month out of warranty but since I had been trying to get a replacement since January while it was still under warranty all they wanted was some pictures to verify my claim and now I have a new jack on the way , should be here in about 2-3 weeks . No charge!
I can’t say enough good things about their customer service. Very pleased with the outcome. I should have started with them in January and this probably be fixed by now.

So I bought a pair of 6k 24” RV scissor stabilizer jacks to mount on the frame near the front of the rv and use them to help hold the weight on the front until the new hydraulic jack arrives. I plan to drill 4 11/16” holes and use the self tapping screws that were provided to mount the jacks. Other than making sure I don’t drill into something I don’t want a hole in ,any advice or suggestions?
Thank you in advance

Call Lippert and speak to them. Lippert may have helped you initially with warranty issues. Lippert may not be able to help on an extended warranty, but I’ll bet they can get the part to you faster than months.

Calling dealer to order a part for warranty or extended warranty may be the hold up.
While others are getting parts delivered, others sit and wait for dealers that say they are on order.

The six point hydraulic Lippert system is a good and reliable system. Once yo7 get the new one installed and purged yo7 should not have any further troubles.l

Personally I would not consider buying a fifth wheel without the Lippert 6 point hyd system

The equalizer system is also showing up and I wouldn’t use it on my red Ryder wagon.. no comparison to the Lippert system in quality or customer support.

If yo7 have issues again later down the road you can always remove the leveler that’s leaking and get it rebuilt at most any decent hydraulic shop

Or you could DIY if you can chase down the seals..

I plan to have the old jack rebuilt at a local hydraulic shop we used when I was still working.
