How To Determine If The Brophy Cable Camper Jacks Will Work For Me
Updated 08/15/2025 | Published 07/18/2025
Question:
Im considering buying your CJ74 67 camper jack for lifting my Lone Peak camper shell off of my Ford F150 Lightning. Im concerned that it doesnt have enough horizontal reach with the L-bracket to clear my fender and wheel. My understanding from other posts is that the two tripod feet nearest the truck will line up vertically with the outer edge of the L-bracket. In my case the outer edges of the wheel and fender stick out 5 3/4inch from where the front edge of the L-bracket would have to go to get under my camper. Presumably, the balance point of the camper is approximately over the rear wheel. Is there a way to make this work?

Hello Brian, thanks for reaching out. With the Brophy Cable Camper Jacks # CJ74, the L-bracket sits about 3" out from the edge of the jack tube. So it doesn't give you a whole lot of extra clearance. It will only work on setups where you have 3" (or less) from the outer edge of the wheel well to the lifting point. If your fender is sticking out 5-3/4" there would really be to way to use this jack system with your truck and topper. The brackets simply do not stick out far enough.

Hey Brian, did you find another solution for lifting your camper shell off your F150 Lightning? I'm curious because it sounds like the Brophy Cable Camper Jacks might not have worked out, and I’d love to help others in a similar situation.
