I like the looks of alumnimum but also wanted the less weight bouncing up and down. 15-25 lbs per wheel exact weight equates up to 7x that when in motion I’m told. Seems logical to reduce wear and tear on components.

I'd like to know if 19.5 wheels will fit. My concern is with the front wheels.
The hydraulic hoses for the levelers scare me. I have removed the front left jack a few times because it was leaking and those hoses are very stiff and can't be bent at too small a radius without kinking. I wonder what caused yours to break?
