Install Happijack dually brackets

[sljohnson1938]

looking at an Outfitter 9.5 foot model, 2004 model with Happijack, electric power jacks. i have a 99 Dodge CTD B3500 dually.
need dually brakcets, i called Happijack and they say should be simple job to install. they say there are 3 bolts holding the jacks on to the TC. remove these 3 bolts, mount the swing out bracket, using the 3 holes, bolts and then bolt the jacks on to the dually bracket.
has anyone done this and is it done the way they say?
sounds pretty simple to me.

Just got an email reply from Brian of Outfitter, he said I will need the 2 inch extension for my truck.
Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it.

You can use swing outs and 2" happijac spacers and it will clear but the jacks are way out there then

I thought that the swing outs were designed to give more clearance.

I sure hope you're wrong, we JUST got our new HJ swing out brackets delivered yesterday. At this point in time, we only have 1/2" between the jack and fender. We're trying to get a bit more.

They are ,but the OP has a 7' wide camper

Yes, done the Happijac dually brackets; yes, it is as easy as that.

On my 1998 Bigfoot 9.6, the brackets *at that time* did not allow clearance for Ford Superduty fenders. I had to space them another 2" each side and still had only about 1/2" clearance. However the ones I bought a year ago where made differently and swung out further, and the jack mounts on the new camper were also different, so plenty of clearance - about 1" each side.

I put mine on when we got our dually. My camper is 7'8" wide and with the brackets on I clear with 1 inch on each side. Makes
lining up super easy. Installation was a snap, a suggestion ... get some stainless nylocks for the reinstall.

Mine were Atwood's and pretty easy. I backed under so it was supported by the drw, and did one at a time.

Yep my atwood ones worked that way, but I had to swap the jacks L to R so the jack handle came out the correct direction
