Question:

We have the hydraulic on our fifth wheel landing gear. When we are in a level spot we get very little movement. However we find ourselves in a sloping spots where our landing gear is greatly extended to achieve level and get a lot of movement. I see these strong arms are great for the electric landing gear with the foot but havent seen a solution for the hydraulic landing gear. Is there a additional part to make them compatible with the hydraulic systems?

I checked with Lippert and found that you can use the JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit # LC191023 with electric or hydraulic front landing gear that have drop legs. Without a drop leg or for mid or rear leveling jacks they will not fit.

Another option is to use chocks that fit between the wheels on a multi-axle trailer, # UF21-001070, that will prevent the front to back movement from slight movement in the wheels. I have linked a video review for you.
