Hey Jonathan, thanks for reaching out!
Between something like the Ultra-Fab Economy 5th Wheel King Pin Tripod Stabilizer # UF19-950500 and the JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for 5th Wheel RVs w/ 58" or More Between Landing Gear # LC191023, the Strong Arm will offer more stability since it's adding more bracing while the Tripod is more for just the very front of the 5th wheel and won't make as much of an impact.
