They are 'stabilizer' jacks NOT lifting jacks so little weight is removed from suspension when they are used.
They help make trailer solid (take wiggle out)but are not 'load carrying' devices
Our 5th wheel is here at house......fully set up/functional 'man cave'
Rear stabilizers set just as if I was out camping, fridge on , water in fresh water tank and plugged in to 30A
I know they're not supposed to be load carrying devices, but all stabs are is your basic automotive jack, just altered to fit the frame of the trailer.
Each one of my jacks (i have 4) is rated at 3,000lbs each.
I recently removed my tongue jack to swap it out, and all that was holding up the front of the trailer were the two front stabs.
