Yes and no. I loosen my spare tire and then raise the jacks. Then tighten back up the spare. After the first time I don't have to keep messing with it. As the jacks rise I kick the tire back a little and it snugs up against the strongarms.

So, yes it does fit, but, not without some jiggling.

I did get the strongarm kit with the rear stabilizers. I have the electric stabilizers on the back of my trailer and they mounted up just fine. I think the rear ones were worth the cost and installation time since the electrics units do nothing to stop fore and aft movement.

My trailer has a lot of overhang beyond the rear stabilizers that is not really supported well. That's where I put the tripod screw jacks. We now have just a little movement when walking around inside.

Supports

I had good results with what i think Amazon described as as slide supports. They are adjustable screw type jacks. A little pricey considering how many i bought. However i don’t use them anymore since the Eagle doesn’t need them.

I installed these on all 6 of my electric jacks and they really add a wider footprint and more stability:

I installed the Steadyfast and I give them a great review, it works awesome and the Tri-pod stabilizer sits at home.

I’m hoping the JT strong arm system works for me. It’ll be here tomorrow and hopefully install it Friday. Thanks everyone

I ordered a set too... they are supposed to arrive at the campground tomorrow. I'll not see them till Saturday. Who knows when I'll get time to install them - but being slated to be at the campground for a week, you can bet I'll get started on them at some point. lol

Good luck with your installation. I’m leaving the 4th for a week out in Thousand Islands on NYS side. Campsite is actually on a island and hope to have my stabilizers installed before I go. If not I’m sure I’ll survive lol
