Dually brackets to get past your rear fenders? That's another one of those things that comes up frequently on Craigslist.

Finally bought some 4x4 square angled that I bolted between the TC and jacks to give me the clearance and it worked. 16$ cnd
no way I'm paying 25% of the camper price for two hinges
I'll wait till I find some used

Plenty of folks have done the same and it seems to work just fine. We had swing-outs which I took off. We didn't need them with our SRW and they seemed to be less stable when raising the camper to load. We are keeping them just in case we need them in the future, but the cost of some of this stuff gets crazy!

For anyone near Worcester, MA. there is a set of four Torklift Fast Guns for $300 or OBO. Seems like a good price compared to most.

What kind of jacks do you have? I run SearchTempest for truck camper stuff daily and will keep my eyes out for some used if you want.
