Hmm. That's disappointing.  It seemed like a great idea. I really like the idea of save a jack but I'm wondering if just moving the jacks back by about 18 inches might be the quickest ( and cheapest) solution. Thanks for the info.

Please don't get me wrong, it is a better solution than dragging the jacks. I've been thinking if the internal bracket on the jack is needed. Than the install would be very easy. The issue with install is lining up the holes on the frame, jack arms, and then the inter brackets. Take one of your jacks off and play with it.
Thanks

The Sava jack installs in literally 5 minutes.   Moving the jacks and drilling new holes upside down didn't seem like much fun to me.

I just installed the Savajacks on the back of our pod.  I used my dremel to cut through the spot weld and then to grind down the bead remaining on the frame.  Sprayed with rustoleum rust reformer and only needed to drill one new hole on each side to mount the Savajack plate.  Much easier than my previous plan with clevis pins to remove the stabilizer and it actually has lower clearance.  The clevis mod works, but the reinstall is not as easy as the savajack.  
Enjoy the long weekend!
