Rear leveler jacks on Ford Chassis

I would like to install leveler jacks on my 2011 Four Winds Hurricane 31D MH. The Ford F53 chassis comes with pre-drilled holes in the frame for the jack installation however Ford put a Fuel Tank hanger right in the middle of the rear set of holes (both sides). I called Equalizer Jacks yesterday and the salesman seemed to not know anything about this. He talked to a install tech and the tech said that they weld a bracket on the frame for the rear jacks. I have several reservations about this answer. First, welding a bracket next to the fuel tank seems risky unless they remove the tank. Secondly, I can't be the only one who has run into this problem, it's a Ford chassis problem... Not coach specific. Thirdly, I see HWH jacks has a spacer to go around the tank hanger (part P34599 spacer and AP35038 hardware kit). The problem is, I can't find this part anywhere. Has anyone addressed this issue?

  • If you have any welding done make sure they disconnect all electrical supply sources, if not they most likely will ruin most if not all of your electronic equipment.
