Front jacks on level up
My front jacks on my 3910fb are really low to the ground and I actually had them drag in a corp park last weekend. Any ideas????
Can these be raised up some?

If they are fully retracting and in the right holes you should be fine. I'd call Keystone and maybe Lippert also and see what holes they should have used to bolt them on with.

Given enough slack in the hydraulic lines and room inside front area each side...yes. There could be a situation when trying to level in a "not so level site" that those raised landing gear would need to extend a lot further than normal. Depending on how much they extend, there might be a chance for some instability. I would inquire with the staff at lippert about how high they can be mounted on their frame without creating an issue.

If your rig is towing level, not low in front, if you do decide to raise the jacks, you may want to make or purchase a couple of pads to place under those jacks so you don't overextend them. If the rig is running low in front, you may need to raise your hitch a bit to get the front higher.

Might be just the way the photo was taken, but the truck looks a bit squatted and the fiver a bit nose down.

I have a 3910FB and the front levelers do look low but I have not had an issue . However, I run air bags at 65PSI which makes us a little bit nose up, but also provides additional clearance for those legs. I quickly found out that with the dually, rear drp on the truck was unacceptable, bottoming out the bed on the rear spring rubber bumpers.. Air bags were the answer.

Thanks much. I will be going to Branson on Friday and I will find a level spot and make sure I don't need to raise my hitch. I think it sits level and my truck is not on the overloads. It pulls good and I had no issues on way back from Michigan. Could be that I had to make a real hard right turn up a little incline and I had not dumped my tanks yet. Good to know that I could raise my front jacks, even an inch would make me feel better. Better watch going over a railroad crossing, caught a set of dollies on a drop deck hauling oilfield equipment in Oklahoma once, heck of a bind.
1retired06, hope you love your 3910 as much as we do, couldn't imagine owning anything else.

Andy, I had to raise my front jacks a hole or two and it did not affect the level up what so ever. Brent

We do, though the wife likes it better.
