Review on 🚐 Lippert 191025 JT's Strong Arm Travel Trailer Stabilizer Kit - Enhanced Stability for Smooth and Secure Travels by Jon Estell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good trailer stabilization system

Package arrived on time. The system lacked a self-tapping screw/bolt. The instructions are almost useless. The pictures in the instructions are completely useless. As a professional welder and manufacturer since 1978 this is a decent product, well built and feels solid. I fitted this system to a Coachmen 33ft trailer with severe stationary stability issues. I decided in advance to use four bars in the back of the trailer and the remaining two bars in the front. I sincerely believe that this system should be standard with eight arms instead of six. Eight self-tapping screws will work if properly pre-drilled with a 5/16-inch self-centering drill bit. Be careful when using 3/8" washers as no exact number is given. The T-handles for locking the two-piece bars are in the wrong place, but I don't really see a viable alternative. After installation I double checked every detail, you don't want it falling apart driving on the freeway. The BAL sockets I attached this system to were perfect for this item. This is a great system and I gave four stars because for the money they were able to provide decent instructions and ALL the parts. Anyone with a basic knowledge of a drill, wrench and tape measure can install this system in a day, if not two. My trailer is now rock solid. Plus, if you don't like the flashy stickers on each of the six stabilizers, they peel off instantly. It's now the end of August and I wanted to add a tip that many may have missed in the guide. After inserting the jacks and tightening the bars, apply a little more pressure to each jack. This reduces wobble in the trailer. UPDATE: Four week trip to Arizona with our seventh stop in the Sonoran Desert. I was here for two months and the stabilizer system changed everything. About every three weeks the jacks sink to the desert floor, so I readjust all four corners, and it's not the stabilizer bars' fault. Best money I've spent in a long time. Highly recommended.
