Thoughts on Raising Leveling Jacks

[dhump58]

We have an 2023 Paradigm 382RK and Our center hydraulic jacks seem to ride very close to the ground while traveling. I’m curious if the jacks can be raised in order to give more clearance

@dhump58 - take a look at 2 things on the jacks:
1. Are there empty holes at the bottom of the jack plate, where it mounts to the frame bracket?
2. Is there vertical space above the top of the jack plate to the bottom of the floor?
3. Is there enough slack in the hydrauilc lines in the underbelly to support to vertical move upward? (added per @BryanValRox)

If yes to all, you are likely good to go to raise up one bolt hole. I did this for the front jacks on my Paradigm 340RL.

I would add number 3 to Jim’s list.
Ensure there is enough slack in the hydraulic lines to allow the jack to be raised on the mounting plate.
Additionally, just because it would allow me to sleep better at night, I would re run the level calibration of the system.
Technically, I do not believe it would be necessary, but better safe than sorry givenhow easy it is to perform.

Great add @BryanValRox. I've edited my respone above. Thanks.
