Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying your alaskans! I am hoping someone can do me a favor....

I need to make a box extension so that my front jacks stick out an extra 4 inches so that my tires will not rub on the tripods. I was going to measure the face plates where the jacks attach before I left for work but I completely forgot. No good excuse for my mistake.

I work as a merchant mariner so I'm going to be gone for a long time and was hoping to have my welder make me boxes instead of spending 230$ on boxes from riecos website.

If anybody has a moment to take some measurements for me I would be forever grateful! Length, width, hole diameter and bolt hole distance from edge and apart from each other!

Thank you for the help!

My 2 cents on the box extensions which I use from Rieco Titan on my dually to clear the wheel wells....I'll get you some measurements but even with box extensions I have to lower the tire pressure to 30-40 lbs so the tires will "MORPH" around the bottom of the tripod jacks....otherwise it would be next to impossible to clear the tires without shifting the camper around.

I should hopefully be ok because I do not have a dually. I bought the truck used and it has 12.5 inch tires with a ridiculous offset. So hopefully the box is enough. Thank you for the ideas though!
