You will love the stable steps. It makes a world of difference.

Hello Tom, how do you like you JT's Strong Arm, can you take some pics of your setup, I bought some that I haven't install I was to get a ideal on how to install or some pics?

Went to check on it in my storage area, all is well, no mice, no leaks, just a 100 or more dead flies, swept them out and closed it back up. My solar battery tender is working well and has done for over 4 years now.

I am emptying the fridge 1 beer at a time since I won't be goin to hunt club this weekend. But fear not I'll be headed back out next Thursday .
An that unloading the fridge one beer at a time, well I may have fibbed a little.

The JT strong arms are great. They really reduce the motion in the trailer considerably. Here are some pics. The instructions give you all the info on mounting locations.

I had never heard of these before now. I’m going to look into some for myself.

Okay, thank you so much for all of the pics, after looking at them I would like to ask you about the setup that you have between the front legs.

I notice that you have both JT's rod for each front legs, where I have seen that the front JT's rod is hookup by one connection, I guess that I can connection each leg like you did or just have one pivot point to come off of?


I guess that I don't know on what I'm saying but I do have those angles that you have in the front so I could connect them the same way. I have download the instruction and I guess is where I am getting confused is that there are a few ways to set up to the front leg jacks.


I copy those pics so I can go by when I go out to my 5th wheel to install them, I hope you don't mind me doing that but I'm a pics man, because going by the instruction sometime I get confuse on what to do,lol.

Oh, one more question do you have them installed for the back jacks? I think that after looking at your setup I might do it that way, because I look in my front storage and it is hard to get to the inside because how these Jayco are made.

I have a 1 1/4 square angle underneath on where you have your angle bracket at and on top of that then the floor so drilling through all of that I would need those long bolts and they only give you four of those.


I like the way you did your so I will probably do it that way so that way I want have to drill all the way through the 1 1/4 square angle and the floor.

So sorry brother Tom but do you remember what dimension you use the setup for the front leg jacks, those two square angles?

[Riverman]

I bought a set of JT Strong Arms from eBay and I am so well pleased with them. All the shake, rattle and roll is gone for good.

I installed mine with 2 mounts on the front instead of 1 through bolt because I didn’t want the screw and nut exposed in the front compartment. These can be installed either way to suit your needs/wants. The mounts are 29” from the landing jack legs.

I do not have them on the back jacks as I don’t have a brace to mount them to under the trailer. My spare is in the way. I‘be been satisfied with the stability of the rig without the JTs on the rear jacks.

Nothing, to wet and soggy today

Okay, okay brother Tom this is a God sent I was racking my little pea brain on how I'm I going to do this so looking at your I know exactly how I'm going to install mines, I do have all of the other hardware to install the back but like you I might not. Thank you sir for the info, this made my day.


I wish I was taken my 5th wheel out for Thanksgiving but I have to stay close to home, I might have to get on a plane to go to Sioux City my mother in the Lord is not doing to good.


BTW: How far is your landing jack apart?

[Magnolia Tom]

Arrived at our thanksgiving camping destination and had to replace the driver’s side front landing gear. Luckily I had a spare in the basement.

Tom, what were the symptoms?

The jack sounded like it was “straining” and it wasn’t extending at the same speed as the other.
