My stabilizer jacks under my trailer are angled, not parallel nor perpendicular to the trailer nor in a parallel to each other. Okay to install?

Mine were angled as well. No issues at all installing them. My stabilizer jacks have solid round bases and I ended up using the 2 supplied landing pad feet. I may end up purchasing 2 more feet just to give the base of the jacks a little bigger footprint. I do highly recommend this system. It does not eliminate 100% of the shake but i would say it is 95% better. That said I have only camped on grass surfaces since installing. I will see if it gets closer to 100 percent shake free at the end of the month as I will be parked on a hard surface.

Mine are the same way & I don't believe it's affected the stabilizers performance. I'm really pleased with the results these stabilizers provided. Works exactly as advertised. Al Irwin

Sorry for my delay.. Mine too are angled and it worked fine. my trailer had a lot of wiggle (if you will). and these stabilizers stopped most of it..

My jacks on my fifth wheel in the rear are angled... it still works great....

Yes, as long as you have access from the bottom of the jack leg to the frame on the opposite side in the back. And from the bottom of the jack leg to the opposite frame as well as the same frame that it is attached to in the front. I hope this makes sense. If not I can try to clarify.

No... I put a small Shim under it to angle it and it is fine. See the rest of my info. Richard G.

I mounted them on my electric rear jacks that swing down from the corners. It mounts fine but the performance is poor. The owner of Hanscom told me that I would get much better performance if I installed the scissor jacks instead. Not a viable option if you ask me. Personally on my next trailer I'll go back to the JT's Strong Arm Jacks, which have more connection points and smaller spans which means less flexing.

When I installed these replacements the instructions said flat side up. The originals were very different and had angled facing up with a rough/unfinished side facing down.

Yes, it does stay attached to the jack pads. As you crank up/down the jacks the stabilizer bars move with the jack position. Yes, once the stabilizers are installed, all you need to tighten are the locking handles. Note: just got back from using the Trailer this weekend...The STEADYfast Stabilizing System is the best addition I have made to the trailer. Rock solid, very easy to use. My son is going to get them for his new Lance Travel Trailer.

I do not have the hitch as this location at this time, but this was a problem with me and what i did was put put the hitch onto the ATV 'upside down' which lowered it effectively. BHM

You will need to source the straight ones to replace yours. They shoud have them. I used the angled ones in my V8 pickup.

Ive had them uninstalled for months. Depending on how much room you have to get a drill in there it shouldn't be too hard. An angled drill would be great, as that will be my approach. I just haven't had the time.

I would go with what curt says. Some of the configurations are different. Check underneath yourself and see if the number of bolt holes and placement are the same.

They tilt slightly both up and down allowing you to angle them... Love mine they work great andwere super easy to install...

Yes, I install the backplate, back up into the trailer coupler, lower it and remove the backplate. Works Great.

Stabilizer jacks are not meant to lift your camper, only keep it from rocking. I use 2 of these units (Ultra-Fab Products 48-979006 24" Ultra Scissor Jack) on the front of my Arctic Fox X26, 8,000 pounds, and the jacks are under no strain and work very well.

There really isn't much play in my installation. Also, since ours is in a two behind trailer we wouldn't notice any notice. It's a great unit. You could add a few washers to take up any slack if need be.

did you align it straight? tilting works but it must be straight. I also had a factory tow package and just had to plug it all in. if you had to add wires,(other than a extension) you might look there.

I have not installed as of yet however it appears to be slightly angled towards back of boat. Not as much of an angle as original though.

I use 2 stabilizers. One goes under the rear bumper, and the other goes under the frame before I extend the slide. Our trailer is a Rockwood, which I believe has a very springy suspension, and these stabilizers seem to help a great deal. I still use the corner stab jacks, but I think I would be just as stable without them.

Your wheels must be very close together if these don't fit. Have you seen the video of them in use? They do not have to lie flat before you move the trailer onto them and you don't need to always use both. If you can't use both, I personally would not use them along with another ramp or whatever. It would be too difficult to get the level right and would negate the advantage of the system, I think.
