I really wish I didn't have to make any adjustments. But when I measured the distance between my two straddle brackets (what's holding my current vantage/lippert legs), the measurement is just about 15.5". Bulldog requires 17.5" for a straight fit.
I guess the dealer will make some good money if they can do that job!
Supposed to arrive Monday next week...long wait for it coming from Nevada to NY (ground)!
Something must be different than what I did...as 15.5" is what my tabs were and that's what Bulldog specd their spacing.
Ultra Fab was my gear of choice but they spec 17.5" spacing and I did not want to weld new tabs
I think you are measuring your spacing wrong...but either way welding new tabs is not a big deal. Just would be nice to know for sure before you get charged for welding when you didn't need it.

So the new motor came in on Friday and I installed it in the dealership parking lot Friday evening. Same issues still happen!
After much more research, I think I have determined it to be the clutch in the motor doing the clicking noise...which means the lead leg has issues inside it.
I went right home, and ordered the Bulldog set. I'll likely have to weld on new 'tabs' onto the legs so that they fit my brackets on the camper (there is absolutely no way to access the space to weld new onto the camper).
Once I get that figured out, I'll hand over to the dealership for a pricey installation.
