Review on Lippert Components 433467 Aluminum Hydraulic by Steven Saric

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to dress up, long story ahead!

Only for the two front jacks on the fifth wheel. Too big for a center or rear jack and the hydraulic fittings are not in the right place to reach the hose when trying to mount it in the center or rear. Perfect for the front, I put two on after removing the fifth wheel from the jack when my wife said her door was blocked by wood. I wasn't ready but she insisted I move so she could get in the truck. Well, I moved it, and when it wouldn't start on the first try, I slammed on the gas and pumped the two jacks up about 50 feet until one bent a little and the other broke. These things are strong but not as strong as the f350! Anyway got two new fronts (one left and one right to accommodate the hose) and was on the road in an hour. (After I fixed the bent bracket by welding a new one on). In short, they're easy to swap out, they're strong as nails, they don't need venting, and they work right out of the box. Do not go to a car service if you do not want to pay a lot, spend a lot of time, like months, and do nothing. I was struggling to get my van out of service after months of doing nothing and when the parts arrived I assembled them and did it myself.

Pros
  • Appearance
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
