Can Grade 8 Bolts Be Used to Replace the Snapper Pins on a Ground Control 3.0

Question

Question:

Can I use grade 8 bolts instead of the clip pins on the jack pads? For security. I intend to leave them loose to allow movement like the pins would. I will use nylock nuts as well.

Yes you can absolutely use grade 8 bolts instead of the Replacement 3/8" x 3" Snapper Pin for Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric Leveling System # LC225598. You'll just want to make sure the bolts you use are the same 3/8" x 3" size as the original snapper pins.

Because the gross weight rating on the 2018 Dutchmen Endurance 3556 is greater than 15,500 pounds you will need to use the 6-point Ground Control system #LC675817. The 4-point system is not recommended for this application.
