Good, Bad, or not worth it? we have a 29'er...DW is wondering if a King Pin stabilizer is a good thing or not....advantages, disadvantages? Are some better than others? Comments appreciated....
When I put on my J.T. Strongarms I gave my king pin stabilizer away and was glad to get rid of it. It did help a little but the hassle of set up, lost space under the overhang and then storing when not in use wasn't worth the slight gain in stability. The Strongarms made it totally unnecessary. I know of no manufacture who recommends using slide out supports. My owners manual specifically states to not use them. The risk of serious, very expensive damage to the slide is not worth it.
