If you're planning on putting these stabilizers, or probably any other brand, on Lippert's electric rear stabilizer jacks, Model 113407, you may run into a minor problem.
To attach the strut to the jack at the pad, you need to replace the bolt with one of the swing bolts with the strut package. Unfortunately, you will need a 3 3/4" one for each leg. The package comes with two of that length, but they are needed for the front jack legs. The 3" ones are not long enough. And you cannot try using two of the shorter 1 1/4" ones because there is not enough clearance inside the leg for the washers or to properly position the nut. You will have to call Ultra-Fab and have them send you two more of the longer ones.
While back there, the support arm that attaches to the stabilizer leg will get in the way of the strut, so you will have to use the mount spacers provided. Unless you've got some really cheap and wimpy box wrenches, you will need to cut the 1 1/4" swing bolts down by about 3/8" or you will not be able to get the wrench out of the spacer after tightening the nut.
Got the front four struts mounted with no problem, just this hiccup on the rears. It looks like once the struts are mounted in the rear that you'll need to be careful not to retract the stabilizer legs up to the fully stopped position because the support arms will contact the struts before you get there, even with the mount spacers.
