I can't seem to find them either. It would be ashame if they are out of business. They are a good product.

This is my plan. I pickup the trailer in a few days!
Correction: I think the dealer is installing the SteadyFast system. We'll see.

They took out most of the movement, only having to tighten three instead of six on other brand stabilizers is a big plus. I also use roto-chocks on both wheels. Check out the Steady Fast web site. Not too hard to install yourself.
I see it as more is better and most of the movement is not better. We sit for 6 months and we get all of the movement out but do have the scrissor jacks infront of the wheels to help the up and down from the springs. Good to lose the tri pod for anybody. We never wanted to carry a heavy tri pod but happy with our set up.

Several other posters have recommended stabilizer systems for the landing gear, such as JT, Steadyfast etc.
I welded up a set of stabilizers for the front landing gear after looking at several different manufacturers' systems, and am totally satisfied with how they work. I no longer feel much movement of the fifth wheel, and feel good about the low cost (probably under $90 to about $100 Canadian) to make my own.
I may still order (or make my own) between the wheels chocking system, but for now, the stabilizers are just great.

Aftermarket, permanently installed stabilizers were definitely the way to go for us. The Bi-Pod we had just didn't eliminate the movement for us. DH also hated to have to put it up and take it down and find a place to store it. Have been completely satisfied for 7 years now. Diana

I use the Winfield front leg stabilizers along with rear jacks and BAL wheel chocks. The main reasons I went with the Winfield was I did not have to drill my frame and the price. I am very pleased with the results.

Winfield Stabilizers. I use the X Chocks between the wheels and the Winfield system in the front. I don't think you need JT's if you use the Winfields and X Chocks.
oh yeah i went the tripod rounte and sold it for 50 bucks last winter in FL. It was an octapus.
