5th Wheel crossmember installation

[BimmerAgent]

HI- Does anyone have experience with these MorRyde crossmember products and their installation?

I was going to install them myself, but I'm not sure about how to jack up the frame on my camper. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I installed one a few years ago. This is an easy install, you will need to remove the bolt that goes through the hanger. So you will need to jack up the camper enough to take the weight off of the bolt. I jacked up on the frame and used jack stands and did one side at a time.

I never installed that system but did replace the axles on my previous RV. As HookMeUp stated, the process of raising the RV isn't too hard, just make sure you have it well supported before removing anything.
I bought heavy duty jack stands from Harbor Freight and used blocks made from 3/4" plywood and 4X4's to give me the needed height. Using a 6T bottle jack and more blocks, I raised the rig high enough for the wheels to clear the ground, one side at a time, and placed the jack stands. Be sure to allow working room to get at the fasteners, then go to it.
I used 2 stands on each side but you might be able to use just one behind the axles and the landing gear leg for the front.

Thanks for the input, fellas.

I just put 3 of them on our travel trailer. I use a 5 ton bottle jack and put the trailer on jack stands.

yes, after frame cracking I installed three of them...very stout...took a full day by myself to install

should come on the trailer to start with.
