I decided to now install them on our new 5vr because the old back took a beating everytime I had to tightened the T-Handles on the Strongarms.

That's why you go with Steadtfast fast system. Only three handles to tighten.

I was always bad at math! And the JTs are on sale now so you get all 6 for $220!

Actually it looks like you need three sets of them at $79.95/set. That makes $240. They come with two arms/set, and you need six arms if you're comparing to the JT Strongarms since they also do the back stabilizers too.

BAL lock arm stabilizers (nearly the same as JT Strongarms - different lock nut is all) but the price is much better at $160 bux. You need two sets of two at $79.95/set.

Not in the same category. looks like it only does 1/2 the job of the JTs or Steadyfast. Only has two front cross members from what I can tell. No for/aft stabilizer or stabilizers in the rear.

$275 for Steadyfast and worth every penny. Best investment on the trailer so far. My time is worth more than it would take to make them...

They are great but expensive. So I looked at them really good and built my own. It cost me 50 dollars to build my own and they work great.
