Stabilize Large Trailer
Hello, After many years of pulling my trailer, we have made the change to a park model at our favorite campground. We picked up the new trailer this past week but found it doesn't have any stabiliz...

Be wary of those aluminum stacker jacks. There is no ANSI, ASME, SAE or any other label/certification on them and they can say whatever they want for a rating. 6,000 lbs per jack is unrealistic. We have a set of them and I would barely trust them to hold up our lawn tractor. Definitely never go under a trailer with them as the only means of supporting the trailer's weight.
The stacker jack's height ranges from 11" min. to 17" max. They are a lot less stable when fully extended (in a sideways direction). Many frames are up around 24" above the ground and you need to use blocks/cribbing to get them to work. They also have a small 6x6" footprint. Just not a stable solution by themselves.
I have used ours maybe 3 times. Such a PITA to put a bunch of cribbing down and they do nothing for fore/aft & sideways movement. If anyone wants ours, make us an offer... I installed BAL lockarm stabilizers and they do a great job.
