Are Dually Extension Brackets Unsafe?
When I thought I had it figured out, now this... Everyone is saying to get the biggest truck you can. Because even if you don't need it now you may want to upgrade to a heavier truck camper in the ...

It is not the jack extension brackets, it is the attachment to the camper that is suspect. Dually extension brackets put a fair amount of torque on them. Our first camper (Bigfoot 9.6 from 1998) required a 2" extension on the extensions to clear the Superduty fenders, I ended up fabricating a steel frame across the front of the brackets to brace them because it was clearly going to lead to problems. Bigfoot seems to have addressed this, because my current Bigfoot 10.4 from 2008 does not need the extensions, and the attachments are considerably more robust. I assume most camper manufacturers would have addressed this over time. So it might be a valid concern if you are pairing the new pickup with an old camper.
