J.T. Strongarms....good/bad?

I spent more than the cost of the JTs on other types of stabilizers and the JTs out perform them all I would not own a 5er without them. A good investment.

Dave. The strong arm product works in all directions. My reply was miss understood by Tim. The Great thing about the strong arms is how solid the fifth will feel during a wind storm. Just doing the front will not get the same results. We installed scissor jacks in front of the tires before knowing any products were available. This stops up and down wiggles that the wife felt doing needle crafts as I walked in that area.

larry, whatever turns your crank :W

I guess I got beat up but I have not changed my opinion. :B

Another vote for them.

Exactly, they have the arms that extend to the rear to do that. And do it very well I might add. However I rarely set up without my Roto-Choks so I can't swear to the amount of movement they do abate.

I concur with Larry - the strongarms are not for fore and aft movement, but side to side wiggle. I have the BAL lock arms and here is a video of how they work. The motion and non-motion demo starts at 2:43.

The BALs are much less expensive and I like the fact that they use the same crank that runs my stabilizers up and down. No need to bend under to turn the T handles nor find a second tool.

I forgot to say I LOVE mine!

Dave I feel you will be disappointed but some folks feel wiggle different.

Well here is not as total Yeah. I elected to go with Winfields since I do not see fore and aft movement as a problem.

Less hardware and adjustment that way.

The Yea's have it! Put them on last year and though still tinkering on set up, when in use, worked as advertised. May not eliminate all movement, but greatly educes what's there.
