Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 23" Lift - 5,000 lbs - Black
Overall, it is a great product. I really like not having to crank the trailer tongue up and down by hand and it works very well. One suggestion for Stromberg-Carlson: Turn the motor/gear assembly so it faces away from the front of the trailer, but leave the light to shine on the hitch assembly, etc. The tongue of my trailer is short enough that the hatch on my Traverse cannot be opened when the trailer is hitched. Might apply to a pick up tailgate, too.
Installation was very simple and the unit works great so far. Etrailers pricing is excellent especially during tbese times and shipping was fast. Will definitely order from them again

Lippert Power Stance Electric Trailer Jack w/ 7-Way Plug - A-Frame - 18" Lift - 3,500 lbs
I was amazed at how quickly my replacement from etrailer arrived. I was a bit worried that the installation of my new jack would be more difficult that I expected. The reverse proved to be the case, it was very simple to place the trailer tongue on jack stands, remove the old jack and install the new one. As the old saying goes "even a cave man could do it."
Nice addition to my RPod 180, install was fast and easy, the up and down are a little slower than I hoped for but still moves faster than you can crank with the OEM jack. Very pleased with form/fit/quality, communication from etrailer was stellar.

JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for 5th Wheel RVs w/ Less Than 58" Between Landing Gear
Love the stabilizers put on front and back of my 33 foot 5th wheel solid it up amazely. Deffintly would recommend them.Thank you etrailer best price and best quality.
Took about 3 hours and two beers to install. As far as the instruction sheet, pretty sure if they tried they couldn't make the instructions more confusing. I just watched a couple videos. Did not take out 100 % of the movement, still quite satisfied with results. Would recommend

Lippert Scissor Stabilizer Jacks w/ Handle - 24" Lift - 10,000 lbs - Qty 2
Have used these jacks for a season and have ran them up and down many times across several states. They are over double the strength of the original ones and should serve well for many years. When they were installed most of the bolt holes lined up with the originals but I did install 3/8s bolts instead of the 5/16 used by the factory. Even with this update of bilts the install went very smooth.
Good stable jacks. After one year they are performing very well.
Edwin - 11/14/2021We received our jacks quickly and they were easy to install. They work great and stabilize the back end of our 5th wheel trailer. Great heavy duty product. Thank you!

Stallion Stabilizer Jacks - 7" Drop Leg Travel - 22-1/4" - Qty 2
The stabilizing jacks are perfect for our Off Road Square Drop camper. It took us a minute to figure out how we were going to mount them because we didn’t have the ability to weld them to the frame. We drilled into the frame and installed Rivet Nuts. If you choose this route, make sure the Rivet Nuts aren’t too small. It worked out perfect for us. We’ll let you know if there’s a problem using this method once we get back from our cross country trip.
I did send in pictures of this set up on my trailer. I really like these for supporting the rear of the trailer when it is not hooked to my truck. If they were a little shorter when retracted they would be better for me. When the trailer is on the hitch, and the front is elevated, the legs won't flip down as they are a bit too long.

JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for Travel Trailers
First, let me say the service I received from etrailer was superb. Now that’s out of the way, the very mixed reviews on the JT’s Strong Arm product is very deserved. I have not gotten to use them yet so I am just commenting on the installation. I’m not the best mechanic in the world but was trained by USAF as an auto mechanic at the end of the Vietnam conflict so I do have some experience. The directions are nearly useless, frankly. I would rather have had them tell me in general terms how they operate and let me figure it out on my own. Once I put away the instruction sheet they were easy to install. One tip I’m glad I read in reviews, and not mentioned in the instructions, watch where your electrical and gas lines route along the inside (sometimes hidden) part of I-beams and C-channel. Yes, you should always do that when drilling, but when frustration from reading bad directions gets in the mix it’s even more important. That one tip saved me time, money and possibly injury. The “self-tapping” bolts did not self-tap, either. I tried running them in by hand and with a cordless 1/4” impact. Both times the self-tapping just stripped threads off which meant I had to go buy more ny-lock nuts. I got a good education on how scissor jacks are made, too. Not from the instructions, but from a mistake I made putting in the swing bolts and letting the center piece of the jack “gearbox” come loose. That could come in handy in the future. I also read that someone ruined a scissor jack trying to move the jack up or down with the Strong Arm T-handle tightened. I am capable of learning from other’s mistakes so I am putting 3/4” silicone vacuum hose caps over my jack so I can’t run them up or down without first checking the T-handle. That should be included in the kit IMHO. The T-handle should also have a tether since it does not have any kind of thread-lock to keep them from working loose as you drive down the road if you don’t re-tighten them in the stored/up position. I will update my review when I have a chance to use them.
After one year and multiple uses of the JT Strong Arms I have to say the frustration from their poor installation documents may have been worth it. My trailer is rock solid now. Everything else I wrote stands and the caps I use on the jack has saved me from ruining jacks. The tethers to the T-handles have saved lost handles, too. Overall, they are a good addition to my trailer.
Gary - 05/19/2021Delivery was prompt and accurate; the stabilizer was double boxed and arrived in tact. I have only installed it and tested it out at home; so far it seems to do what it advertised. The components seem to be high quality and well made. If you have any mechanical ability, installation is easy and straight forward; the instructions give dimensions and a few photos. If your camper is like mine (having 3/4” wide cross brackets) you may want to fabricate a wider bracket to bolt the included 1.5” center brackets to on the front and back. I did this by bolting 2.5” angle iron to the cross beams on the camper.
After using these over the camping season this year, I would say it was worth every penny. These stabilizers take all of the movement out of the camper. It is very noticeable that that camper no longer has any movement and makes sleeping a lot easier.

Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System - 10,000 lbs
My son and I installed the jacks and they work great. I had Lippert electric stabilizers so once those were removed I was able to install the jacks in the same location. It took me about three days, working just a couple hours a day to get the jack framwork installed and then my son came and helped install the actual jacks to the mounts. So if you took two whole days you could probably get it completed.
I love these jacks I would recommend to anyone who has the time and know how to install these. I installed these on a Minnie plus 31BHDS 35.5 foot travel trailer. It’s hasn’t let me down yet leveling the trailer every time. Even so much that it will lift the tires off the ground on one side to achieve it. Even with the wheels off the ground all doors and cabenits work perfect. The install was tough for one person took me three full days. The way my camper was set up I couldn’t follow there instructions exactly on the placent distances of the jacks but I was within a foot and it works. It has a touch screen for in the camper which after initial set up I haven’t needed to use it. The other control i installed on the exterior front driver side and that’s the one I use every time. It’s so easy now I press 1 button and its level every time. This really makes setting up much faster and less stress I don’t have to yell back and forth with my wife which she hates finding level. Great product so far.

Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack - White Switch Kit - 30" Lift
After using the 6k lbs for my 14k fifth wheel for a year, I can honestly say there are no issues or complaints. Wife is a travel nurse and we live in our trailer. It does an amazing job of stabilizing the rear end of the trailer.
This unit works so much better than the previous unit originally installed on the trailer during its manufacturing. As its title states, it is high speed compared to the previous jack. It is self leveling, a big improvement over the older unit.
Working great after a year. Highly recommend this product.

Reese Electric 5th Wheel Landing Gear Set - 36" Lift - 8,000 lbs
The box arrived pretty beat up. After inspection I only found that a tab that doesn't get used on the motor bracket was broken. Installation of the jacks to the original weld brackets fit well and was reasonably painless. I did have to cut off the edge of both the motor bases to allow new jack legs to set firmly against trailer frame. The left side motor emergency override had to be installed facing rearward because both legs are built identical meaning the weld tabs and pull pin tabs were the same as the right side jack. Not a huge issue for me because I had the room for the left jack to be installed that way. Not a huge speed difference noticed yet but I'm not expecting a whole lot as my trailer is a heavy toyhauler. The thing that I really like is each jack has its own motor unlike the original single motor Atwood system allowing me to level left and right individually and having less chances of failure. I realy didn't want to cut another hole in my trailer so I fabricated a different switch plate for the switches and circuit breakers that fit in the original lockable jack control box. My biggest complaint and disappointment is that the pull pin bracket on both jacks came installed upside down so the open area for the pull pin covering the spring is facing up and a spot for water and grime to collect but, when I recognized that the jacks were already installed and I wasn't going to pull everything apart at that point.
Fast shipping and great product. Install was easy excluding 2 things (which is my I have 4 stars). 1. One of the nuts for the landing gear leg release wasn't the right size. I had to get one that fit. Quality control issue as it was inside a sealed bag. 2. I wish there had been measurements to show the width of the motors. My prior landing gear sat flush against the inside walls of my RV compartment whereas, these needed ~3/4 inches of spaces due to motor design. Minor fabrication allowed me to get past this but it's wasn't 100% just bolt on. Overall, the performance of these vs my factory landing gear seem far superior and they move much faster as well as smoother. I'm. Big fan so far.

Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Touchpad and Remote - 4-Point Set
So far so good but still working on the installation. I had to fabricate a couple of brackets due to my 5th wheel configuration to get a rear sensor and front controller mounted but not a big deal. Over very pleased with quality of jacks. I did receive extra brackets (see picture) that weren’t listed in the material list and I don’t see where they would even mount. I will need to make a phone call about those
Price, delivery, communication all great. Install was complex on my rig and it is a Lippert frame and chassis. Required a lot of mods on my 2017 Attitude 28SAG. Had to cut away some metal (non structural) to get mounting points on rear jacks. Had to reroute fuel lines to genset. With no access to the left front landing gear, I cut and added an access door and gained bonus storage area. Wiring was a breeze with the nice harnesses, long enough for any size rig. Quiet and fast. Caution: make sure you mount the Quick Release Pull Pin with the barrel away from the frame: This unit retracts automatically very close to frame and you can bend the pin. Cons: Mounting plate for rear sensor was not painted and was rusty. No screws included to mount sensor but listed on parts list. only included 8 frame attacing bolts, install requires 12. No big deal. Overall well worth the money and the effort.

Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks - 24" Lift - 6,500 lbs - Qty 2
Installed easily and they function as designed as well. They look cleaner than the factory stabilizers as well. I also like that they use a 3/4" socket to go adjust and not a special tool like other brands.
if I had to rate this upgrade in difficulty one being the easiest five being the hardest, it would be a one. Super simple. Take the nuts and bolts off your old hardware and install the upgrade in its place. I read some of the reviews were people were annoyed with the counter clockwise rotation and the bolt sticking out too far. I really didn’t see a problem with either. I know you’re not supposed to use a drill to extend and retract these but I always have. I suppose as long as you’re not torquing the heck out of the adjustment screw you shouldn’t have any problems. I always put a small flat 2 x 6 piece of wood under the foot of each one of these. It seems to add quite a bit of stability.
Perfectly! Keep em clean with a coat of lubricant & theyll serve you well!

Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks - 24" Long Corner Steadies - Silver - Qty 2
Love these stabilizer jacks. The only thing I wish is it was able to lift and not just stabilize. It would be nice for changing tires on my small off road trailer.
I've built my 6X12 enclosed utility trailer for hauling my motorcycle, and camping in it when out riding. Replaced the rear jacks with the cheapest thing I could find after ripping them off once. Decided it was time for some quality replacements, and saw these ARK units on etrailer. Worth every penny when I opened the box. Made a project day out of the install and I am very happy now. Welded on the brackets (supplied) and found that I don't even need a tire jack for the trailer anymore. These lift the trailer wheel completely off the ground if needed. Heading to Death Valley next month to try them out in the field. Thank you etrailer once again.

Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer with Dual Motors - 30" Lift - 6,000 lbs
It looks like a great product am anxious to install them. I have a symbol of them in my garage and I have one with a really crooked foot. The bolt hole on the retracting arm was drilled in the wrong place so it is totally crooked, not a deal breaker though. I’m sure the are more than Adequate
Finally got around to installing my PT II Stabilizers 30" front and rear of our 26' Surveyor. Pre - assembled them to make sure they went together ok. Luckily I had two sources for power front & rear which made wiring easy, I used a Buss block to make all positive connections, grounds straight to frame, soldered all connections and heat srinked to seal. Using the 3/8" self tappers was fun.Well got it all together and all works well makes trailer very stable, don't have to worry about scissor jacks collapsing anymore.
Working well they make our trailer very stable compared to the sizzor jacks that came on our trailer well worth the money. Install was easy and had them spot welded to frame.

Same comments as I made a year ago. Overall, it is a good product.
