Helpful Expert Reply:

The ARK Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jack Kit # ARK34FR do not have a weight capacity listed because they're not designed to act in a true weight bearing manner. The ARK # ARK34FR are only designed to act as corner stabilizers to minimize movement in the coach and not as the primary weight bearing solution for your coach; as long as you're only using them as corner stabilizers in conjunction with your landing gear or jacks, these can be used on both small trailers all the way up to Class A RVs.

If you're seeking something that can work in a more load bearing manner, please let me know the GVWR of your coach and I can work to find you something that will work.

I've linked a short review video of these stabilizers to this answer, as well.
