When they crumple permanently, it's right there "where the angle braces connect to the leg". The pivot bolts are fine. I'm thinking of bolting on a piece of 2"x2"x1/8" steel box along the whole outside length of each leg.
If you really overload them, for example overloading the rears by lifting the front with the tongue jack :), you will also bend the main casing (the U piece running from side to side with the screw in it) in the middle. Presumably you could strengthen that as well with another piece of U overlaying it.
But I'm hoping that just strengthening the arms will be good enough, if I'm careful. Haven't done this yet, just looking around for the steel box pieces right now. Have a new one coming from Outdoors RV under warranty to replace the badly crumpled one with the frozen motor.
So it's not just me that sees room for improvement on these things... When you get around to doing it, I'd love to see some photos! Maybe that'd be a good winter project - take them off the TT and work on them in your garage or shop.
