DCKiefer Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 If you have the four inch lift on your Oliver you know you loose some of the lift distance of the left and right levelers. I was looking for a way to regain that lost lift had the unfortunate event of the curb side jack failing. But, I turned a bad thing into something good. Robert sent be a replacement jack and I got to keep the broken one. From this I now have a spare motor, plus the broken jack tube. I chopped up the broken tube and made the extension shown in the picture. I simply stow the extensions when traveling and slip them under the jack tube when extending the jack. I saw a new product in Trailer Life that is for the tongue jack that I thought I might replace these with, but I think my idea is safer on slopes.

DCKiefer Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 Basically as you lower the jack tube, the tube will insert in to the extension I made by about two inches. Nothing to bolt on, just plug and play. I simply store the extensions in the bumper when we hook up for the road. I made them after getting into situations where I did not have enough leveler blocks. Some of the places we visit sometimes have a lack of level sights or we don't care for the ones that are more level.
