Stabilizers in position...ready to go.

Finally had time to install them. Just cranked them up to hold in position. Will get the welder out and finish. About 30 min or less from start to finish. Rock solid now with the 4 - 7500# each 30 inchers.
All four can be seen in pic. So less than $130 total.

I put 2 more in front of the wheels and they did make a difference. I bolted ours on instead of welding.

I was going no bolt them but I had to angle them so would not protrude from the side when up. I used the 30 inch as I'm really high off the ground.

Welding all finished. Took about 20 min total for all 4. Rock solid. Angles so would to stick out sides when retracted.

Looks like a clean installation and I'm sure it makes a difference!

I would love to have about four of those on our trailer. Right now we use the pyramid stabilizers and they take a little more time to set up. We only set the trailer up once a year so it isn't really all that bad.

Looks great! I added stabilizing bars on opposing corners and they've made a huge difference, but never thought of doing this.
