.JT strongarm

Picking out options for our new fiver. Going with the 6 point auto level system. We told the salesman we also wanted there jt strong arm stabilizers. He told us we don't need them with the leveling system. True or false? Usually they want to sell you everything they can. Thanks.

  • Your salesman doesn't know what he's talking about! We have the leveling system but the JT Strongarms are worth their weight in gold in keeping the trailer solid.
  • I agree it is false. We have a 4 point auto leveling on our 30' trailer and fine movement when someone is in the bedroom or bath. The living/kitchen area is pretty solid. I put x chocks between the tires which only helped slightly. When we traded trailers I kept my old stabilizers which I'll be installing on this one.
  • On my old trailer I had the JT system with a front landing gear and rear stabilizers. It definitely helped, but there was still bouncing from the tires being part of the system. On my new trailer I have the 6 point leveling with no JT system. It is more stable than the old trailer, mostly because the tires are (mostly) out of the support system when parked. There is some movement and the JT system may help in the front, but you'd have trouble mounting it in the back. I don't feel I need it with this setup.
  • False ! We have the 6 point auto level system on a 38 ft, toy hauler .And it rocks so much when anybody walks around my daughter says she get motion sick.
