Pusher Spring for Forest River "Bicycle Chain" Lift System

This is a replacement pusher spring for the telescoping lift posts used on the Forest River "bicycle chain" style lift system. Located inside each corner post, this heavy-duty spring provides the force needed to extend the lifter arms and raise the roof. It's the solution for a corner that is failing to lift, seems weak, or requires excessive effort to raise.

Is This The Right Part For You?

Please review this checklist to confirm fitment:

The #1 Way to Identify: Your lift system must use a bicycle-style chain as part of its mechanism. This is the most reliable check.
Common Brands: Typically found on Rockwood and Flagstaff pop-up campers.
Common Model Years: Generally used on models from 1994 and older, though some exceptions exist.

IMPORTANT: Information Required With Your Order

To help us confirm you are receiving the correct part for your specific camper, please provide the Year and Model of your trailer in the order notes at checkout.

System & Ordering Notes:

There are four pusher springs on a standard camper (one per corner).
This product is sold as a single spring. For balanced lifting performance and to prevent future failures, we highly recommend replacing springs in pairs or as a complete set of four.

Installation: Push Rod Spring / Spring Tube Replacement

Safety: Numbers in parentheses refer to the parts legend on the Forest River guide. Support the roof on poles at all four corners before starting.

Raise the roof; place support poles between roof and ground.
Remove the canvas flaps around the Roof Bracket (14), the lag bolts (32), and the lower bolt (33) on the front off-door side; crank the system down.
Remove the sidewall extrusions and plastic “L” extrusions, then the Lifter Post Assemblies (13).
Crank the system up fully; remove the lift covers, the Idler Sprocket Assembly feet screws (2), the Spring Tube Clamp screws (12), and the Spring Retainer (35).
Loosen the Adjustment Screws (21) and move the Idler Sprocket Assembly toward the off-door side.
Door-side spring: disconnect the chains from the Chain Attachment (20), then remove and replace the push rod spring. Off-door spring: also remove the Drive Shaft Rod (34), slide the lifter assembly toward the door side, then disconnect and replace.
Reverse the steps to reassemble; set chain tension and roof heights per the guide.
