    Yes...the brackets are attached to the frame with self-tapping bolts. SteadyFast also supplies the drill bit required...a good one too as I've installed the system twice now.

    I have to second what Dave said - I installed my Steadyfast from my old Avalanche and used the same drill bit. There is still a lot of life left in it. Really like the Steadyfast and the simplicity of it. I had to drop my spare tire a little bit, hold it towards the back a little bit, and then crank the tire back up in order to get enough clearance for the cross bar to have enough clearance. I don't think there is consistency on the tire installation but it wasn't a big deal.

    Do you know if this system will work on our 379FL with the Level UP system as the feet don't look like they can be replaced,Thanks

    I don't believe that you can install them on a 6 point Level-Up system. You're finding too much movement with that set-up?

    I just installed the JT Strongarms on my 303 a few days ago and now we are sitting in it camping at Jalama Beach here in California. My wife has said it is night and day. I have to agree. The install on the landing legs was a breeze but on the rear stabilizer jacks, it takes a little figuring out. Don't expect Lippert to help with any advice because they were clueless. I went with the JTs because it is now Lippert owned so how can they deny a warranty claim, right?
    The set up was a breeze! Level it all out and then snug the JTs up. My kids run thought he trailer sometimes and get up at night, now without waking me up! Well worth the 225.00 I paid which included shipping!

    Hi Joe,

    Could you post a picture or two of how the strong arm setup fits to the rear stabilizers on the 303 ?
    I am planning exactly what you have accomplished and must admit that I can't see how this is going to fold up properly with the strong arms attached.

    Thanks

    Rob,
    I'm so sorry! I did not get your message until after I dropped the 5er back off at my storage lot. I can get you pics in a few days.
    To give you a heads up, the front four braces go on per the directions that come with the Strongarms. As for the rear, you will remove the center bolt that holds on the foot of the rear stabilizer and replace it with the 4" saddle bolts they supply. Here is the catch, the directions state to face the saddle towards the rear of the trailer. DO NOT DO THIS!
    Instead, orient the saddle towards the front of the trailer.
    Install the Strongarms on to each of the rear stabilizing feet. Collapse each Strong arm completely and raise the stabilizers completely. You will now notice that due to the design of the Lippert stabilizers, the supporting braces going fore and aft do not allow the JT Arms to mount towards the center of a cross beam. Instead, I mounted them similar to the front installation, located along the edge of the I beam frame 3/4" in from the outside edge. Installing it this way will collapse the JT Arms fully when retracted and the tightening t-bolt sits in a nice little pocket up top!
    Wow! I better get you pics ASAP! Trust me.... The JTs are worth their weight in gold!

    Joe

    Hi Joe,

    Thanks for the detailed info !
    No big rush on this since I am a month away from getting back to my 303.
    (We're back in Canada for Christmas . . . RV is waiting for us mid-Jan in Florida)
    I am definitely looking forward to your pictures of how to do this right.

    Hey Rob, we have dealer installed JTSA on our 303 as well and they work very very well. I can get pics in the next week if you need more in addition to those Joe plans to get to you. Our RV is stored indoors just a few miles from our home. Attached are a couple pics that if you zoom in on you can see the lower mounting location front and rear.
