How do you like your Stable-Lift?
Recently we talked with some TCers who had a Stable-Lift and raved about it. This topic has been visited before. But I had difficulty separating what was based on experience from what was not. I w...

The jacks do not bind on a steep grade. Actually, Considering the steel tubing they are made of, I can see no way you could bend one.
It is not necessary to support the bottom of the TC for storage. If you intend to walk in it, then you need to follow the TC manufactures instructions. Sometimes I support the bottom and sometimes I do not. I do not remove my TC when camping, but I do use the lift to level it. It is not unusual to lift the TC off the truck when leveling, if the ground is exceptionally on an incline.
If you changed trucks, you will have to keep the saddles that the bottom of the hoop fits in. If you do not, you will loose the tie down feature of the Stable Lift, and it will be necessary for you to use conventional tie downs. The only adjustment might be for the difference in height of the new truck bed. the hoop/jacks adjustment is accomplished by removing four bolts per jack, reposition the jack and reinstall the bolts.
If you are changing from a single rear wheel truck to a dual wheel truck, major work is required. That would best be done by someone with fabrication skills. The dually version of the lift uses a wider plate where the lift attaches to the TC, and a couple of gussets to reenforce the plate. It is not complicated, but does require some welding to accommodate the added width on the dually.
