The original post on this kit is below my query. Thought it might get broader exposure on the net. Looks like a worthwhile item

Can't locate the Skirt Lifter on Jims site. Do you have pics? I think I would check the suspension more often and more carefully if it was easier to access. Hope I don't need to buy a quadra bag system before I can purchase.

A new Skirt Lifter Kit was introduced at the GMC 49ers 34th anniversary Harbor Holiday Rally at Alameda, California.
If you have installed the quadra bag system, you need to check out the new Skirt Lifter Kit which allows you easily hinge open the OEM GMC skirts anytime to inspect, adjust and clean your quadra bag system.
This complete kit was developed by John Chalfant for his 1978 Birchaven and has been road tested for over five thousand miles. The kit utilizes stainless steel continuous hinges to attach the top of the skirts to the coach, and a special magnetic latch assembly which holds the bottom of the skirt firmly in place. The magnetic latch is rated to hold 16 lbs.
The kit is available from Applied GMC for $149.95 and it includes complete installation instructions. It takes less than two hours to install using simple hand tools.
Now you can lift your skirts and show em what you’ve got! Check your line and airbag pressures, twist your valves and rinse off those airbags anytime!"

In addition, if you need to work on the rear suspension for any length of
time, Jim will make sure Manny is there to hold the skirt in the "up"
position for as long as it takes.

I would be willing to bet that feature just might keep the skirt from getting torn up in the case of a tire failure. If that were the case you would be money ahead.
