Lifting Jayco 5TH Wheel Camper With Triangular Shaped Leaf Spring Hangers

Question

Question:

When I look at the picture of the Correct Track adapter plate and how it bolts up to the existing hanger it doesnt look like mine. My outer hangers are triangular is shape and the adapter plate look like they need to bend over the edges of the hanger. Do I need a kit ?

As your outer hangers already have a second set of mounting holes for the leaf springs that will raise your trailer you will only need to concern yourself with the center hanger. If the center hanger is also taller with a second hole that will raise your Jayco trailer.

If your center hanger is traditional like the # 115919 you can use just the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # LC87120 to drop the mounting point for the equalizer so that your suspension stays level from front to back.

Answer 3

It won't work unless your 8k axles are 3 inch in diameter which is sometimes the case. The Roadmaster Comfort Ride part #RM-2460-2580 won't work on a 3.5 inch diameter axle.

This is a really good question but you do not have to install anything beyond what comes with the Lippert Center Point #LC1565391. The 2 inch lift that gets added does not need to be compensated with longer hangers. So with just this kit you'll…

Since both the 7k Roadmaster Comfort Ride system #RM-2460-2570 and the 8k version part #RM-2460-2580 are designed for 3 inch axles you can use either and in your case the 8k version would be perfectly compatible and give you a little more suspension…

Between the 7K #RM-2460-2570 and 8K #RM-2460-2580 Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks I recommend going with the 7K for your 2018 Vilano 5th wheel. It will give you the best ride possible since it's designed to work with…

You can get the longer U-bolts here; I checked with Roadmaster, and the 2630 are simply 7 inch long U-bolts, so you can use the following: - 3" Round Trailer U-Bolts (Qty 2) #SP01-060 These are 7 inches long so they are the same, and for a…

I spoke to my contact at Roadmaster and they stated that the roller pin on the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Slipper Spring Systems do not require lubrication. They stated that if you felt it were necessary, you could add some grease to it but this would…

Answer 9

The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit part #RM-2460-2580 will indeed work on 7,000 lb axles. The leaf springs would just be slightly overrated for what you need but there will be no problems with compatibility. It does require that…

It would appear that you can move the Lippert Center Point #LC1565391 down one additional hole which will likely only gain you an additional 1/2" of clearance when it is moved. When the Center Point is originally installed it will raise the…

The Replacement Wet Shoulder Bolt #LC126197 is 3-3/8" long to account for the width of the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit #LC87120. A typical Wet Shoulder Bolt #LC126238 is only going to be 2-7/8" in overall length.

Answer 12

First I recommend looking at the clearance that you have on your bed rails to the 5th wheel trailer. I have seen hitches adjusted higher than they need to be. You want to have 5-6" of clearance when parked on flat ground. If you have more than…
