OK I think the twisting of the frame would be that front landing gear that are electric are usually mounted straight down where the leveling systems they are usually at a slight angle which helps with stabilization but at the same time causes twisting action thus the added bracing.

It's just terms, most people not all by no means will call an electrical leveling system a 3.0 or so. People with 5ers call the landing jacks and stabilizer in the rear electric. At least that is what I have found in all the years on here. On a TT , they usually call them stab jacks or manual. There's no right or wrong, some people even call them Garbage:....[emoji23][emoji41]

I now have a big foot system, that will not work on a 5er. I don't think they make a 32" ram. My big foot works well very simple system. It is different, I might not use the right term here so don't jump on me, but I call it electric over hydraulic. My rams run for ever it seems. The lippert system by the time I could hook up my water hose it was done. I always worry about that electric motor that is running to pump the fluid, it really strains. But it has been great, just different, I like it for what it's use for on my application. Lippert system would have been a waste on it. I guess there is a place for everything. I can not say this enough, make sure your frame is strong enough, just because they have plates doesn't mean it's strong enough for hydraulics
It easy to tell what system it was set up for. If the plates in the front are not at a 25 degree angle then it is set up for the 3.0. Sorry so long but seems to be a little confusion about the 3 main systems being sold...thats the best I can explane it
