RE: The ultimate 5th wheel stabilizers!
I did a little testing on my Sierra Q32BBS 5th wheel to determine where most of my movement is coming from. In my unit it's the rear 'side to side' that's the problem area. When I push side to side at the front of the unit it has little motion but the same test at the rear has lots of motion. Given these finding I think I'll install the stabilizers at the rear jack stands. I'm going to install 2 bars from the base of the stand to the frame to limit my side-side motion. I may decide to also install another 3rd bar going forward for back-front motion. I also like putting these on the rear manual scissor jacks since these are manual and if you forget to unlock the bars you'll discover them locked quickly without damage.

RE: The ultimate 5th wheel stabilizers!
Love this idea!
Has anyone done this same setup with 2 stabilizers on only one front leg? Meaning: one stabilizer for side to side motion and the other going back for back-front motion. Or maybe a 3 bar setup on 2 legs.
Thoughts?
