Swing out jack brackets
I've gotten my new F-350 dually, previous truck was a SRW Chevy. Loaded the camper yesterday and man there isn't much clearance between the front jacks. The brackets are swing out but just not enough...

Not really, the jack tube is a sealed unit, and is considered to be “not user serviceable”. I haven’t had to do anything to my 18 year old jacks other than replace a couple of the plastic covers, which aren’t available any longer thanks to Lippert.
if I remember right, when you take the covers off you’ll notice that the motor gear and the jack gear have a generous amount of grease slathered on them. That’s about all you can check for on them.
The motors are replaceable as are the jack tubes, and there are still a few of those available though the price is going up.
I suspect if you were determined enough, you could figure out how to take the jack tube apart to lubricate it, but I haven’t had to resort to that on mine yet. It may come to that someday though.
