I also decided to do away with the H1 tires due to weight especilly the spare. Changing the rims and tires really helped with the sway I was getting and decreased the added rear end weight of the trailer.

How do you like the leveling jacks? Those are the type I have been looking at to add to my trailer as well.

So far I really like them. Three self tap screws and you done with the installation. I have yet taken it out with all the camping gear and rooftop tent
so I cant say how they will work at that point. I will provide an update once I actually use them.

Driver side electric breaks were completed today. Tomorrow goal is to remove the hydraulic break from the passender side. Once that is completed I will convert the military cable to a new 7 prong tail. I placed an order for a 7way cable and didnt pay attention to the length of the cable. Yesterday when I was measuring out how I was going to mount the cable I noticed that it was only 4ft long. I can either purchase a whole new cable with tie down box or just by a 8ft 7 way cable and use the box that came with the original cable. If you decide to do this conversion I recommend getting the 8ft cable.

XO series trailer Jack came in today. I hope it helps moving the trailer around alot easier than the original metal wheel.
