Keep your Ground Control 3.0 leveling jacks properly secured with this genuine Lippert replacement snapper pin. The 3/8" diameter pin attaches the swivel foot pad to the bottom of the jack leg -- a small but critical connection that takes repeated stress every time you level your rig. When the original pin wears, bends, or goes missing, this direct OEM-spec replacement gets you back on solid footing fast.
The Lippert Ground Control 3.0 is one of the most widely used electric leveling systems on the market, found on a broad range of fifth wheels and travel trailers from manufacturers including Jayco and Keystone RV. The snapper pin is the retaining fastener that holds the pivoting foot pad onto the lower end of each jack tube. Without it, the foot pad cannot stay attached, and the jack cannot distribute weight properly on uneven ground.
This is a genuine Lippert-sourced part -- not an aftermarket approximation. It matches the original 3/8" diameter specification exactly, so there is no fitting, drilling, or modification required. If you are doing a full leveling system service or replacing multiple pins at once, verify each jack pin before your next trip.
Engineered to the exact 3/8" diameter spec used in the Ground Control 3.0 system. Drop-in replacement with no modification needed.
Secures the swivel foot pad to the jack leg so the pad stays aligned and distributes load correctly on every surface.
Listed under Jayco part number 0226134 and Keystone RV part number 324038 -- covers a wide range of GC3.0-equipped trailers.
Backed by Lippert's limited 1-year warranty for defects in materials and workmanship.
On a Ground Control 3.0 jack, the lower end of the jack tube accepts a swivel foot pad that pivots slightly to conform to sloped or uneven ground. The snapper pin passes through aligned holes in the jack tube and foot pad bracket, locking the pad in place while still allowing that limited swivel movement. The pin is retained by a snap ring or clip arrangement -- hence the name "snapper pin."
Over time and through repeated retraction and extension cycles, this pin can wear, corrode, or deform. In some cases it is simply lost during a foot pad swap or service. Either way, the fix is straightforward: replace the pin and verify the foot pad seats and pivots freely before retracting the jacks.
This pin is specifically designed for the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 electric leveling system. It is not confirmed to interchange with Ground Control TT (travel trailer) or other Lippert leveling families that use different pin diameters. When in doubt, measure your existing pin or check the label on your control box before ordering.
Replacing a snapper pin is a simple mechanical task that requires no special tools beyond basic hand tools. The general process is:
