J.T. Strongarms....good/bad?
To those who have them,what do you think about the J.T.Strongarms? Are they worth the expense? How much do they help with stabilizing your 5th wheel?

With the steadyfast you just reach down and turn 3 T-handles. Two towards the front and one in the back. Simple test is with all the T-handles unlocked move near the front side of trailer and lightly push on it close to the nose cap. It will begin to sway and will continue to oscillate. Now lock the T-handles and repeat and you really have to lean into it to get any kind of movement which quickly dampens.
Its just simple geometry at play with the locking arms triangulating the landing gear to the frame of the trailer.
