Front Leg Stabilizers on a Fifth Wheel

One of the front legs on my fifth wheel won't go up all the way. It interferes when putting up and also breaking down camp because I can't seem to get it up high enough to get the weight off of it or something. Then I have problems getting the hitch to release because there is still weight on it because I can't get that leg up.

Any suggestions, ideas, remedies?

Thanks!

CHENI: try putting some blocking under your legs when you drop the legs down to level her out. Then when you raise it back up to hook up the preasure will be the same coming down and the legs will retract together.Try spraying some silicon on the legs also,if its got grease fittings make sure you keep them greased.

Wow finding grease fittings - I'm learning, learning, learning. Will give your suggestion a try after the paint dries on my tow vehicle. I'll have to hook her back up to the hitch to get it off the blocks she's on now. Thanks for the suggestion and the flowers!!!
