Lippert Jack bracket bent

[edge68474]

I posted about this previously and I was able to straighten one side back. Talking about the front ones.
I have a new set of brackets to install and I was wondering if anyone has ever replaced yours? What I am really wondering about is if the bracket is bolted AND Welded to the frame? If it's also has a weld then that means more work to replace them
Thank you.

P.S. I need to get this stuff done so we can hit the road. I will " git er done " as they say.

My hydraulic jacks are bolted to the frame with grade 8 bolts with self locking nuts. No welds that I can see.

So when you look at your old brackets, you can't see if it's bolted & welded?

When I look at it, if it's welded, it's a very small weld. I will get under there, when it quits raining, and just loosen up the bolts and see what happens. I read somewhere, pretty sure from Lippert, when installing the bracket to weld a 1/4 weld to it. If it's not welded now, I'm just going to bolt the new one on with Loctite.
It's been raining hard here lately. I don't like to work in it!!. Suppose to clear some this weekend. Thanks for your reply.
P.S. If it has to be welded, I will find someone to do it.

Don't forget to disconnect all of the batteries before welding and make sure the ground lead is attached clean to the chassis.

Don't let the smoke out of all the devices. That's a bad day.
