Wish that there was a Prime Time Chris on the Prime Time forum, and all the other forums at that. That would be defiantly give Forest River a boost in their "Customer Support" area.

Looking to add stabilizers to our 2015 Wildcat 327CK.
When I read the post on the battery box being in the way of installing the stabilizers I looked at our unit and although it has an extended battery box it appears the box is not in the way of installing the stabilizers.

You have the new drop frame on the 2015 Wildcat and the battery could have a different mounting system. The 2014 and earlier had the Lippert frame with this problem.

Do you have a view from the front looking back on the battery box side?

Thank you, I just wanted to see if the box would be in the way on that side.

My 2014 wildcat 327ck the box was inches from the front and the JTs bars would hit it. I just relocated the box an inch back so it was clearing the cross bars.

You can mount strongarms with the sunken battery box. All you need to do is put a stop-bolt in to prevent the legs from coming all the way up when retracted:
Here they are extended:
And you can see them retracted in this photo:
We've had them this way for a year and no issues.

Those still hang a bit low for my comfort, I'd be afraid of it dragging on a driveway or similar. I'm sure it's fine, I just hate having to rig things. It was easy enough to move the battery box.
