Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking around the forums for about a year. I finally took the plunge and am now the proud owner of a new to me Arctic Fox 29V.

When I got the trailer home, I had some trouble getting it off the truck hitch. Long story short, the tongue jack slipped off the wood blocks I had placed under it and the whole front of the trailer dropped approximately 6". It hit hard and I realized later that I bent both front stabilizer jacks . Both of them now have kinks in the metal bars that run along the sides between the base of the trailer and the foot pads.

I believe the factory jacks on the AF are made by BAL, but I'm not sure which model. Can anyone tell me if they are bolted or welded? Is it possible to purchase just the metal bars that run between the base of the trailer and the foot pads vs. replacing the entire jack set?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Call the factory and ask. They actually answer the phone.

The BAL jacks on our 29V Arctic Fox are welded to the frame.

No, you can't buy parts of the stabilizer jacks, but then the jacks are pretty cheap anyway. You can buy them from Northwood (ask for Jim) or you can buy them off the Internet.
