Looking to order these tonight, were these always made by Lippert. Or did Lippert buy them out?
Pictures look the same except they are silver.

I think JT strong arms was an independent company but was bought by LCI.
Mine were silver too but they were showing their age so I repainted them the brown color

Just saw one of the amazon reviews that these will not install on the rear with autoleveling System. Did you have this problem and how did you resolve it if you did?

This is half true...
They will not install without some extra parts and mods. You’ll need a specific lug kit that bolts onto the rear pads. With those lugs you can attach the arms to the pads. You’ll also probably need to add a piece of angle iron across the frame to bolt the arms onto (this may not be needed if you can find a suitable mounting spot near the spare tire)
All that said, I do not have the rear arms installed on my trailer (even though I do have the needed parts to install them) because it’s pretty stable as it is. I didn’t feel I needed the rear arms. I do use x-chocks by the way which also help

I wish it was still a small company. I feel like the parts would be built better.

Looks like I can just replace the pin holding the pad with the bolt and eyehole.

Mods to 377 RLBH?
Thanks to Mark (MadJokerTx) for showing my wife the bunkhouse storage mod using the bathroom linen closet. I had to do it to ours. Only did the lower and didn’t divide the space.
Hole marked and ready to be cut
First layer of wall board
Hole completed
Trimmed out using some matching trim
Bathroom hole blocked off
Credit to kl8ton! Thanks

Added a Furrion Vision S observation camera with side cameras
Still need to remove my old RVS wired camera
I’m in the process of making a YouTube video on the unboxing and install

I currently have a combination gear and bike rack. Has metal bars that go around each tire, I think it would work fine but am worried about how heavy it is. My hitch is only rated for 300Lbs tongue wait. I think it would bounce more with the weight also.

It’s a swagman 3 bike rack. Bikes hang from the frame. No issues with it but I do use a hitch clamp that eliminates any vertical slop. The rack has a threaded hitch pin to eliminate side to side movements.

Thanks Al. Yes I’ve already wired it as a security camera to be view inside the trailer. Funny thing is I wired the camera to the prewire (blue) lead but could not find anything in the wall of the master. Turned on the monitor an low and behold it worked! I also ran an extra power wire for the side view cameras so I can view all the cameras instead of just the rear.

Looked it up. I want a 3 bike rack also. I like that it looks like it clamps solid on top. How about the wheels and bottom of bikes, do you have some type of spacer and tie them together?

The bikes are pretty well clamped by the rack but I do use a strap through all the frames attached to the bumper as an extra safety measure
