Dewald Leveling Jacks

HELP!!!!!! Need help have a 2002 Gulfstream 36ft with a Dewald leveling system and also for two slide outs. My front two jacks have failed. I worked with the Techs at Lippert to troubleshoot the determine the front jacks seals are gone. The old timer techs said they use to make a rebuild kit for the jacks and handed me off to the parts department. Got a young girl saying lippert has nothing and that they are obsolete. So I asked if they have jacks that could replace the bad jacks and was told no sorry and good luck. SOOO now I have looked everywhere for used jacks and nothing. My jacks don't leak on the outside the seals inside are worn and they creep until full extension. I cant find replacement seals of a shop to do it. Was told I would have to change out the entire system. Being an engineer may years ago I find it hard to believe you cant tear down a cylinder and replace it but time have changed. Looking for any help or direction of possible replace jacks or cylinder shop that could possibly help. Thanks

I am sure if you look hard enough, you'll find a shop that is willing to rebuild your levelers. P&H hydraulic in Jacksonville Fl. is one that I know of. :I'm sure there are many more.

Most any farm hydraulics shop could rebuild jack cylinders.
