Re: Stabilizers
Painting is a great idea.? I had some folding wheel chocks that I drove over and left one time.? ?Still available but I haven't replaced them.? My 2009 came with 4 BAL stabilizers.? I don't know

Stabilizers
Hello Don: With them under the frame that is different. Our 2000 only came with rear jacks and I know they are only bolted through the floor. I think they get most of their rigidity from the wall

Re: Towing
Really?? Mine are under the main frame.? And although I am not advocating this. I found I could drop the tongue as low as possible, drop the rear BAL Type C jacks to the ground and lift both wheels

Re: Towing
Hi Gang: It isn't the capacity of the stabilizers that mater, it is what they are attached to. On my Aliner it is the OSB panel floor. Carl.

Re: Towing
Dan, I think that would depend on the brand and model of stabilizers you have.? My Bal Type C's are considered stabilizer jacks with a load capacity of 3500 pounds. See attachment.

Re: Trimmed Tongue Jack
Hehe, it sounds like it will work, but the YouTube demo video shows it installed on a pickup and trailer where the tailgate does NOT hit the jack.

I just saw the Jack-E-Up on the Towing topic thread. What a great solution. JoeS

Re: Towing
I had never seen the Jack-E-Up before. That is a great simple solution. I can¡¯t fully open the tailgate on our TV when the trailer is hooked up because it hits the jack. This would allow easy access

Re: Trimmed Tongue Jack
Years ago I had the problem of the jack hitting pavement, hard to release, etc. I solved the problem permanently by installing three 4" chrome plumbing nipples and longer machine screws, thus raising

Re: Towing
Removing the trailer jack, while camping is not advised - the stabilizer jacks are just that - stabilizer jacks.? They are not made to support the weight of the trailer - you can either bend the

Trimmed Tongue Jack
Hi Gang: We had our hitch and tongue jack catch on curb dips. After I straightened the jack, I trimmed the bottom off and also added a spacer to lift the jack an inch higher. It helps. Painted the

Re: Towing
That brings up one other issue too.? When towing over a driveway dip, an extended hitch will come closer to the ground and may hit.? If that happens it may damage your tongue jack.? You can raise

Re: Towing
When figuring length, don't forget to consider a parking situation where the front end is higher than the rear creating somewhat of a V.? This tilts the jack post towards the tailgate and is

Re: Towing
A lot of those hitch extenders?say that it cuts your max tongue weight in half.? The same goes for extended ball mounts, which do the same thing.? Your Ridgeline has a 500 or 600 max tongue weight,
