Think twice about off road package

Hey, all.  When I bought my '17 QS 10.0, the one my dealer had that was spec'd how I wanted was one with the off road package.  I didn't think much about it at the time, but after getting it home I have some thoughts.  My suggestion is that unless you truly need the extra ground clearance, I'd go with the standard package.  the extra height makes it very difficult to move around with the standard tongue jack; even fairly low there is a lot of chatter and complaining, and my lower tube is already bent a bit just from moving it around my driveway.  Also the stabilizer jacks are harder to find the right fit, in my opinion.  I also think the larger wheels and tires are going to have more issues with wheel balance.  Don't get me wrong, I really like my trailer, just wish my dealer had one I liked with the standard package.  YMMV.
