swing out jacks on a pop up TC - Are they available?

[tooldad1041]

Has anyone had to do this?

I currently have a 05 Palomino Bronco 1500. Just got it this spring, put a lot of work into it. Not quite ready to upgrade to a hard side.

However I have discovered a good deal on a dually truck. I want a dually for when I snow plow and salt and the Fords have a larger back seat than the Dodge's do. i know you can get a mega cab, but I need the 8ft bed for the camper and the salt hopper.

Are there swing out jacks for smaller TC's?

Thanks for the input or comments.

Ah well, crisis averted for now.

You really don't need a dually to haul a B1500 anyway. Only reason I do is because I this truck practically fell into my lap. What's nice is even with the camper loaded it has enough payload left for any conceivable amount of tongue weight.

The swing-out brackets are specific to the JACKS, not the camper.

My B1500 has Atwood jacks, and the Atwood swing-out brackets fit perfectly. All I did was unbolt the jack from the mount on the camper, and install the swing-out bracket in between. It was hardly rocket science.

You may not have enough width even with the swing-out brackets, though.

The brackets I bought used off craigslist. Someone welded 2" extensions to them already, and my truck still only BARELY squeaks between the jacks.

There is <2" between the fender and the jack post, and my outer duals rub the jack feet.

Hallmark, Outfitter Pop up campers have swing out Dually jacks as options. I believe that Palomino would be similar.

I think the brackets are usually jack brand specific, but not camper specific so they should be.
