JAYCO in my signature has a rear electric stabilizer unit in the way of installing the JT's. After calling the tech line, they sent some extenders for the pad ends of stabilizer, which did not give enough additional clearance. I finally got them installed by creating a "C" channel brace to the center of the frame. The front JT's were no problem.
Side note: a few months later, I was in a hurry to get through an intersection while following someone to their house. I could see the dip was substantial, but went ahead against my better judgement. Bad move! The entire rear stabilizer unit is now a twisted up piece of scrap. Everything bent about it except the screw thread bar and the JT Strongarms! The twisting bent a couple bolts, but the arms are good. Take away thought, trust your better judgement!
