We are still looking to install the 4 Poiint Reico Titan Leveling System and leave the current rear stablizers in place

We had a few unexpected expensis that will delay buying the Reico Titan System until after the first of the year.

If you can $wing it, look at the Bigfoot automatic leveling system.

I took our fiver to the dealer for repairs and asked about the leveling systems and he told me I would void my warranty as it's not made to have things added to the frame. If jayco doesn't do it at the factory, it's not covered... I guess I'll wait for 1.5 years then do it.

Maybe contact Jayco and possibly take it there if they will install.

You aren't that far away.

the electric jack specs I see from reico titan is a max of 5,000 lbs. each ,with one of theese just behind the rear axle that possibly could weigh 7,000 lbs. I wonder what there response to this is . I know some of the weight may remain on the springs when leveling on fairly level sites but if you attempted to lift one side off the ground to change a tire or on fairly unlevel site that jack would be lifting the axle weight on one side which would exceed 5,000 lbs. unless there are heavier jacks available I didn't see and I think the atwood system is similar.
i would like to install one of theese systems but last time I weighed my 2010 designer the axles were around 13,000 lbs. loaded for a cross crountry trip.

I just ordered the Lippert Ground Control System (Formally Reico Titan Ground Control) for our Pinnacle.

Our axle weight is about 12,000 lbs also, only difference is the axle weight was measured when our Pinnacle was connected to our truck.
Moving the front support weight back to the front Landing Gear instead of the pin will lower the axle weight some, I have never weighed the axles when the front is sitting on the landing gear.

Guess I will see how much power those 5,000 lb Ground Control jacks really have.

The jacks are good for 5000 EACH. you would have to have 10,000 on your axles before you have to worry. With 4 jacks your trailer would have to be over 20,000lbs. We have the Reico Titan system on our 31.5RLTS and it holds the trailer just fine. Our trailers GVWR just a shade under 12,000 . BTW, we love the Reico Titan Ground Control system.
