I have the same overhang- its on my 3/4 ton GMC 05 duramax - because I almost always am towing my fishing boat as well, I did see a visual droop in the rear of my set up- but I did many thousands of miles and months and months of camping and never felt any sort of front end wandering or...

again, inspired by discussions about EMT lifter assemblies here on WTW .... Rodents had reeked havoc a couple winters back and rear corners had leaked - the original lifting mechanism was 30% rotten, vinyl was nasty, original foam rubber had been used to create a nest in the kitchen drawer etc...

Cuervo is right- I have been working on substantial framing issues on my old FWC- it started when I had to replace a rotted floor under the heater. When I pulled the interior paneling I saw that my jacks had been installed exactly as Cuervo sez: 3/4 plywood slats that were the terminus for the...
