Stabilizers

JT Strong Arms or BAL? Any difference? Seems both work. Do locking nuts have to be tighten for travel or are they captured in the loose position? BAL looks to use a tool I already have to tighten bars or I can use my battery drill.
  • I always tighten the T-Nuts on the JT Strongarms when traveling. I don't want to arrive somewhere and discover the T-Nuts have vibrated out and are MIA. I did make a tightener on a handle for my JT Strongarms so I wouldn't have to bend/squat down to snug them up.
  • Checkout Steadyfast Stabilizers, three knobs to tighten and your set up. Took about two hours to install. A little more expensive than JT's but they are with it, in my opinion. Also, outstanding customer service and the owner of the company will answer any questions you have.
  • I have JT's and they are loose when traveling and they are only finger tight when down and in use.
