NightrainZZZ,i have Noticed a lot of TT MFGs are installing the "Jacks/Stabilizers at a 45 Degree angle now,Maybe that Helps reduce some Sway? Would create a issue if installing "JT Strongarms"? Youroo!!

Make sure you spray your HF jacks with WD-40 or all the hardware on them will rust. Replaced 1 last summer with a HF jack (which is amazingly sturdy) and this spring it's got rust all over it.

I managed to catch the 2.5 tone stabilizer jacks on sale at Harbor Freight back in the spring ~ bought and added 4 more under the 26RR. Can't explain how much more enjoyable it is with all 8 extended now. Yep, keep all of 'em sprayed & lubed, even the factory issued.

HF does have the cheaper version which are lighter weight and have the Sheppard Hook, but I went with the hex head and much stronger version so I can still use the cordless impact drill to speed things up, same size as originals.
