Hi,
Our first TC was a '93 8'6" Lance. To put it on our (then new) dually, I had to extend the front jacks out nearly 8 inches. What I did was to get an 8' 4x4 and cut it into four 2' sections. I then bolted the jacks to the TC using the 4x4's as spacers (two on each side)(after drilling the necessary holes, of course). I used threaded rods and washers and nuts in place of bolts as I couldn't find any real bolts long enough. It was scary, but it worked fine and I still use this method for the Lance.
