I need 6-8 of em to level a race car trailer to the nth degree in order to do millwork throughout it. I want the type pictured only THEY HAVE TO be the screw type so I can dial in incremental amounts to set this thing up fore and aft, port and starboard and twist. I have seen many types here that are as pictured below but where can I get screw type so the increment isn't preset and about 1/2" at a time? I need +- and 1/8 or less for spanning a frame over 38'. Final weight will be about 15,000 pounds, it is about 5500 dry now.

Jim, I know that :bonk: , :D , it is just that that is the type I want (visually) but with the screw. :)

Greg, I have seen all those. Thanx tho. :) I need something with a large base, 4 points of contact etc. The rig will be at my shop, and the area that leaves me room to still go boating and bring it home and turn it around is at about 7 degrees of slope. It is going to live there for a month and trades will be flooring it, installing Panduit, Satelite transmitter/Reciever, GPS and a ton of electronics alongside my 2000+ pounds of Millwork. I have to set it up for people to come and go and be a PERFECTLY level environment.

I need the large base footprint. Any other ideas?

I bet what you want hasn't been invented yet. If you weld 4 small legs on the hyjacks, you will have exactly what you want.
At least I won't have to worry if I ever need one, I'll just call you and you can send me one of your one off customs...........Ed

the FIRST time you hook up that goose on a truck, that trailer WILL sag, and twist, and flex, and...... ya get my drift... :crossfing

Jim, these trailers are running $220,000 complete. They are welded stainless steel. They are not "regular". They are purpose built. The cabinets are having a 6mm reveal as opposed to 3mm to allow for this. When they are deployed to where they will be set up they have auto hydraulic leveling rams. Just it is a little much for my property and they are not installed yet so that makes it even tougher.

Yes, they will flex, but nothing like my Motorhome did and the stuff you camp in. These are ridgid. Actually, the way they have been put together is nuts. But it is Government money so that explains it all.
