I have the Ultra-Fabs and I am real happy with the fit and function, my neighbor has the JT's and they are carbon copys of each other.
You wont be disapointed.

That's what I was hoping to hear, Thanks Nick.

I had the JT's on my old TT but have not had time to install on the 5er yet. I really enjoy how stable they made the TT. All I had to do is get the kit for the front landing gear. I hope to install they within the next couple months.

If you want JTs, you might try RVWholesalers.com. I ordered a set last month on a Tuesday and they were delivered on Thursday, and that was with standard shipping.

family5th,

The use of Winfield RV Products' braces on your front landing gear and rear sissor jacks will eliminate all side-to-side movement. They recommend use of BAL Deluxe Locking Wheel Chocks to eliminate any front-to-back movement. I can tell you that the use of their braces and the chocks will make your unit rock solid. As I mentioned the braces are mounted using existing holes and do not require any drilling. I learned about these braces at a Titanium Owner's rally just a few months ago. Scott, the company owner was at the rally and demonstrated the braces to the attendees. Based on his demonstration he probably sold and installed his braces on at least 10 trailers. The braces are fantastic. The company is located in Poway, CA.

We've got the ultra fabs and they work great, like was already stated they are a clone of the JT's.

Ultra Fab makes a great TT powered tongue jack and has good customer service. They also have a 3 year warranty on their JT clone. If you exhaust all other route's to get the remaning JT's I would be very comfortable giving UF my business.

They seem to be the same mounting, material, etc.

I ordered my ultra-fabs on Monday from Tweety's and the darn things showed up Tuesday via UPS. I had the fronts on in no time and will do the rears this evening. That's service and I don't see anything wrong or cheap about them. Great instructions also.

I have received mine also and they appear to be good quality. Can't wait to get them on this weekend. Thanks to all the replies, your help is always appreciated.
