Trailer lifted (Rockwood 2701SS)

[salvi]

could you please give the phone number for forest river parts?
I have an ultra lite 8280ws 5th wheel that I have to lift.

Howdy, did you order the lift kit from Forest River? We have the 2016 26 ft bumper pull. The tank clean out (is this what it's called?) is scary low, in front of the axel. I don't see away to properly modify it. 3-4 inches would be great!Is the kit expensive? I can do the labor. Thanks, Ernie

I ordered mine from Eastern marine

I just did the same thing but built my own kit. Posted on the forum today.
I think mine falls into the overkill category.

Thanks for the motivation to get it done.

My apologies, folks, I wasn't aware that the thread was still this active. I don't have a phone number but you can contact Sheri Dunlap (parts Coordinator Rockwood - Forest River; sdunlap@forestriverinc.com). If she's not the right person to talk to, she should be able to point you in the right direction.

I had an '06 CC with rear mounted scizzor jacks. I simply moved the jacks farther forward. I would hope raising a rig would not make it even more top heavy. Good luck.

I'm going to do a lift kit on my little 17BH once the snow melts.
