Adjusting Lippert Electric Slide Ram - options?
As you can see in this photo, the RAM for one of my slides rubs the frame and needs some adjustment:
I see three options:
1) Drill a new hole where the ram attaches to the slide to raise the ram [EDIT]There's no space - so it would have to be something more involved like welding on a new tab or bolting on a new tab and somehow keeping it from rotating[/EDIT].
2) Add a spacer to the mount under the floor.
3) Grind out the hole in the frame to be a little bigger.
For #1 I assume the slide can be run out and then the ram can be disconnected and run back in to get it out of the way. Then drill the hole and run the ram out and re-attach.
If the ram is removed with the slide out, does the slide need to be supported somehow?
Are there any other options?
Is one of the above more preferable for any reason?
