Just where did those of you that have the JT Strongarms buy them? And the cost. Hubby & I have been looking on line and we did find RV Direct selling them at a lower price than the offical JT Site itself. The JT site had a suggested price of $299 (lower than they had been they said) although they DON'T sell them to you direct, you have to go through a dealer, which none near us sell. I've looked around on some sites (like Camping World) and they don't have them. Any help would be appreciated.

I just canceled my order after waiting almost 2 months with no product. They are supposedly on indefinite back order, so I ordered the units from ultrafab. They appear to be the exact same as jt strongarm. Good luck in finding them and grab them if you do find them. I had ordered them from Dyer.com. Also talked to Tweety.com and they said the same thing. Supposedly moving to a different manufacturer.

I ordered from Tweety's at $299. They told me they were on back order and even called me to tell me the same thing, but they still arrived in 4 days.

I read somewhere that JT sold out to Lippert and that's the cause for the back orders. Some retailers won't even take orders until they fill their existing orders. Now let's see how Lippert can mess up a good thing!?!?!?

I read somewhere that they are moving their manufacturing and that is causing the delay.
I am thinking about making one using one of those extending cargo bars. Still in the planning stages.

Just installed the Ultra-Fabs on my Wyoming and they worked great, very clean installation. I too waited for the JT's and eventually went with the Ultra-Fabs.

I understand that these are used for stabalizing your trailer. Which is better, Roto-Choks or the JT's? The Roto-Choks are about $128 and the JT's $299.
