The ultimate 5th wheel stabilizers!
I believe I have discovered the ultimate home-made 5er stabilizers! I was at a Love's Travel Center and found the S-Line SL125-HT Ratcheting Cargo Bars at $19.95 each. The bar expands from 40 to 70 in...

Yup, that's an option. I did the same, bought the ratcheting
bars, but, I don't have them permanently attached. And I don't
put them on the bottom of the front landing gear. It will move
the landing gear. I place my landing gear on 10x10 inch blocks.
Drive a large tent stake on the outer side of the 10x10 blocks to
keep them from moving and place one end of the bar on the top
of the front landing gear and the other end on the bottom of the
opposite block. No movement. Can't be beat!
For the rear scissor jacks, I use angle iron, top on one side,
to the bottom of the other side and clamp with C-clamps. Just
as steady as the 1000's of buckazoids pro jobbers, for real cheap!
I can't imagine the bars moving a landing leg with thousands of pounds weight on it! Also, what do you do when you're on a concrete slab? I think it would be easier just to spend a couple of hours installing them permanently. To each his own...:B
