Bigfoot MQ-8A1 Manual Leveling System Class-A Gas/Class 8 Diesel Quad Pump

Why Choose the Bigfoot MQ-8A1?

The Bigfoot MQ-8A1 is a quad pump manual hydraulic leveling system engineered for Class-A gas and Class-8 diesel motorhomes under 24,000 lbs GVWR on Ford F53, Freightliner M2, Chevrolet Kodiak 5500, and similar chassis. Unlike fully automatic systems that handle all aspects of leveling for you, the MQ-8A1 puts you in direct control of every step — operate all four cylinders simultaneously for fast stabilization, then fine-tune each corner individually using the control panel's individual LED cylinder retract indicators to see exactly where each jack stands at a glance. This is the system of choice for experienced Class-A owners who prefer precision hands-on control and trust their own judgment over automated leveling.

The quad pump design places four independent marine-grade power units — one at each corner — each running only 25% of the time compared to a single central pump. This delivers nearly four times the service life and dramatically reduced maintenance over the years. The four double-acting cylinders (power up AND power down) are rated at 12,000 lbs each with 16" of stroke, machined at Quadra's White Pigeon, Michigan facility, hand-assembled, and 100% leak tested before shipping with a lifetime warranty. Each power unit is wrapped in a weatherproof steel housing and mounts outside in the elements, preserving every cubic inch of interior storage space. At 240 lbs complete with all brackets, hoses, pumps, controls, and cylinders, the MQ-8A1 is a serious manual leveling system for owners who want maximum control, built entirely in America.
