4x4ff Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I am considering adding the aftermarket Lippert Ground Control 3.0 electric jacks to my '07 Pilgrim. Before I start let me get a few things out in the open. 1) I know I can level the unit myself for a few bucks worth of lumber. 2) I know I will never get the 'resale' value out of them. I DON'T CARE. Short of hitting the lottery I have no intention of replacing this unit. We both love the storage and layout and I have yet to find a unit that I would ever be able to afford that I like better. 3) My frame rails are 12" I beams so that shouldn't be a problem. I am curious if anyone has any experience with using or installing the aftermarket set. I meet the measurements and the weight for the 4 leg system (will still be using the rear stabilizers also). Looks like the install is pretty straightforward and doesn't bother me in the least. (except removing and replacing the front jacks will be a royal pain.). I like doing my own work. Just curious of anyones thoughts. Steve 2007 Pilgrim M378 SA4S-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 If you plan to keep the RV long term, it makes a lot of sense to me. Those who shop an RV as an investment or for trade-in value would be much wiser to refrain from buying any RV. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Many folks have Big Foot added to their rigs to make life easier. Can't see why the Level-up would be any different. I replaced our front jacks awhile ago. I just hooked to the truck and swapped them out. Ours were not welded in though thankfully. Just unbolt and rebolt the new.

4x4ff Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Kirk and Allie&Jim, I appreciate your response and apologize if my initial post sounded a little snotty. I guess I am too used to some other forums where the first dozen responses would be about the items I listed and how I would never get my money back out of it and I should just buy a new 5er with them already installed so I would have a 12 month warranty.....you know what I mean...lol. I appreciate and respect your answers. I'm just trying to find someone who has installed the system themselves and used it to get some feedback.
