Dually swing out a question
I just loaded my NL onto my new truck a Dodge DRW and I do have dually swing outs on the camper. On the NL even though it is a 98" wide camper they set the jacks in further on the sides than most camp...

I had an Outfitter thats only 7` wide. I needed to put on a dodge dually for a while , same jacks, same flip outs . Happijak makes 2" C channel spacers that are white and drilled , I had a set laying around , there more for fender flare issues. I put them between the flip outs and the camper brackets , that moves the jacks when folded to travel out 2" , I couldnt put them between the jacks and the flip outs because that moves the jacks forward when folded to travel and made a clearance issue with the back doors on the truck way worse
It was kind off dangerous looking with the jacks out that far on the ground
What about adding 1/4 " plate in all four spots, inbetween jacks and flip outs and in between flip outs and camper brackets, or 3/16 if 1/4 is to much , that would give you 1" or 3/4" more space overall
I don't think that I could use a 1/4 or even 3/16" as the bolts are only long enough to fit the existing brackets. I would only have about half of the nut holding onto the bolt. I don't think this would be very safe.
You said "Happijak makes 2" C channel spacers that are white and drilled". Were these made by Happijac? I looked at their website and I can't find anything like this there. If they had them that is what I would need. I took the flares off my truck because there is no way I could load the camper with them on my truck.
I can see where the only place I'm going to be able to load/unload my camper is at home on my concrete pad because as stated by another poster there is just no way I could load this someplace that is not fairly level.
