Installing Rieco-Titan Swing Away on AF990?

Anyone done the Rieco-Titan Products RSB-2A Swing Away bracket install on an AF990?

They claim it will give 4" per side of increased width but that's not possible as they are only 2.25" wide on one side.

It appears they bolt on over the corner brackets where the current jack is installed and then the jack is re-mounted on the swing away bracket but looking at the 990 corners and they appear to have angle iron corner pieces that extend outward. I'll have to block up the camper and remove a jack to see if this makes any sense but my first look is suggesting I'd get a max of 2.25 to 2.5" of extension on both sides or a total of 5" overall. Not the 4" per side the swing away supposedly would give.

Thoughts? I'll post pics when I get some.
  • I used the Atwood brackets on my Arctic Fox. They were cheaper but not as sturdy as the Reico Titan model. I was able to clear an 8’ wide flatbed with either bracket (I have the RT bracket on the Host which uses the same brand jacks).
  • I put them on my 992, clears the dually fenders but they are pretty close. I lowered the front of the camper on the end of the bed until the jack came off ground. Pretty quick install.

    I looked again and mounting in place of the jacks will work. It does appear to give me about 5" total though which might give me 2" per side to spare....but then it only has to provide that to pass the dually fenders.....
