I need to get all the wheels off and can not find what parts are capable of holding the weight. I assume the frame rails but I am too new to guess.

Hook up to your TV and use the Level-up to raise all four tires off the ground.

TV? Not sure what that is. I thought you could not use the leveling system to raise the unit. If you can then that make's this a breeze. I just don't want to bend anything and as a first timer with a 5th wheel, I am probably being overly careful. I have had motorhomes since I was 19, 64 now, and this is a different world as far as structure goes.

TV = Tow Vehicle

Mine was up on the level up jacks for 4 days with no wheels/tires, not hooked to "tow vehicle", slides out, waiting on brake parts, no problems. I wouldn't recommend laying under it while held up this way without other means of support, but works great for wheel & tire maintenance.
DW was a little nervous the 1st night, but soon forgot they weren't there.

Three years ago I upgraded the suspension system with Mor/Ryde SRE-4000 and heavy duty shackles/wet bolt kit along with Timken wheel bearings/seals. I had had the trailer totally lifted on the hydraulic jacks for a week without the wheels. I also had 4 (6000 lbs.) jack stands under the frame for safety. I would not work on that trailer without the jack stands, although, I would not be concerned about changing a wheel in an emergency, if I had to do so, by using the hydraulic system.

Had ours off the ground several times using the jacks. We lived in it for 4 days while I did the disk brakes and SRE 4000. No jack stands.

LCI says not use jacks in case of a hydraulic line failure. Even if that happens, I do not think the RV will hit the ground instantaneously. And it stop when the jacks run out of piston. If you use any blocks under the feet, it will stay off the ground.

I just had one of my customer service staff explain how the Karma buttons work. Everyone here has been so helpful and now I know how to give you all some good Karma. Thank you all.

The jacks on our RW's are rated for about 3 times the weight of the RW. This came directly from RW and Lippert at the Rally but would not give an exact weight. I always lift ours off the ground to do service. I would not worry. If your working under it...... then yes, Use jack stands or blocking. I use 6x6 blocking as I think it's stronger then a jack stand.

Thank you. I live on a cherry farm and practice safety with everything I do. I have at least a dozen heavy duty jack stands and 8 X * blocks.
I truly appreciate your concern for a fellow member.

I read somewhere that EACH lifting point on my Redwood had a capacity of 12,000# . Lippert does not want to be liable for any injuries or damage for those who DO NOT think things through before doing...

Lippert typically does not like to be liable for anything. They are perfecting the wording in the warranty that says:

"altering, installing, or general use of our product may void the warranty"
