Will JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for 5th Wheel RVs Work with Extended Rear Brackets

Question:

Looking to install the JT String Arm on my fifth wheel with Lippert electric self leveling jacks. The rear stabilizers are not in line with the frame as they are mounted to an extended bracket. Will the JT work installing at an angle from the reframe to the bottom of the stabilizer. Second once the coach is level just tighten the t-bolt nothing else to do to stop the rock? Thanks

I looked at the instructions for the JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for 5th Wheel RVs part # LC191024 and they state to measure from the rear side of the electric jack leg 27-3/4” and place a mark on the bottom of the main rails. Therefore, so long as you have space on the frame in this location there should not be an issue with the extended bracket (as long as it's factory) as the mounts swivel.

Once the trailer is leveled, simply tighten the t-handle to lock everything in place.
