What is the best way to stabilize 5er?

Have not tried it but I imagine the best location for additional stabilizer jacks would be to the front or rear of the wheels. I would seem that the springs are a weak point given that you have rigid stabilizers at the front and rear.
Now that I have given my untested point of view I would like to hear some tested opinions to help me make an informed decision. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Same here - best mod I have ever done.

Did you install on rear too?

I went with the steadyfast system and x-chocks, they stop most of the rocking. you will still get the spring bounce though. I added scissor jacks in front of tires to stop most of that. not rock solid but it is big difference

I did a poor mans 6pt level up system. Front landing gear, mid ship and rear stabilizers. Seems to work well for us.

There are several stabilizing "systems" available. JT Strongarms are probably the most well-know, but BAL also makes a similar system. Several people here have posted DIY stabilizers that utilize the same concept.
