The Lippert Level-Up system can be installed at a number of places. I think if you search the Lippert site you can get a list of installation locations, but be aware it won't be cheap, but well worth it.

I think the Lippert systems are the only ones out there, at least that is all I have seen. Many members here have gone with the hydraulic version system. I would not recommend the electrics. If you are going to do it, do it right. There are installers around the country now so that should not be a problem.

My electric ones ain't so bad, once I finally figured out how they work. Granted, they will not "lift" the trailer, but for leveling and stability, they work pretty good. The only problem I had was, the original location on my rear's hung too low and I drug them many times. I raised them about 5 inches and have not had any problems since.

Either way, electric or hydraulic, you've got some $$$$ you'll be forking out.

I'm with Carl-- the Lippert/LCI self leveling system is the only one I've seen out there also. If you are registered for the National Fall Rally in Goshen, IN in September you may be able to have them installed there or at least get an appointment with Lippert to get them installed during the or just after the Rally.

I agree the electric do the job just fine. Don’t be a hydraulic snob.

Lippert Level Up

I had the Lippert 6 point hydraulic system installed at Lifestyles RV in Quartzsite over 4 years ago. Best decision I have made. Because they were installed after the trailer’s manufacture, they operate on their own totally independent hydraulic system. It was not cheap, but as an older person they are entirely worth it.
