Be interested in a look when you get them installed. Also, where did you get them?

I will let you know how they work out there is a bit of extra work to do on the rears as the bumper slide is in the way but I plan to add an extra cross bar between the rear jacks.

I just ordered the steady fast for our 5er. Should get it by end of the week. I went with them because they looked easy to set up. And did the same job as others.

Installed Today
I installed the Ultra Fab Eliminators today and very pleased with the results, I had to make up an extra rear x member for the rear as the slide out bike rack was in the way the whole thing took about 4 1/2 hours but well worth the time, the kit has all the needed parts except for the extra x member I also added a drop of thread locker to nylock nuts just to give some added insurance. I would well recommend this upgrade

Stabilizers
I have Strongarms - for me it came down to price also, really it was how much the DW would let me spend...lol. They were easy to install and work as advertised and the DW is now happy.

Because of our spread axles I struggle to think that extenda-chock (bal-x?) chocks would help eliminate our bounce/rock. But $300+ ($400+ with shipping and brokerage) is a lot to dish out.
Has anyone tried extended bal-x/chocks and then steadyfast/strongarm stabilizers to be able to quantify the differences/benefits?

I had X Chocks for our 26foot TT but they didn't do a good job on the 331MKS they did help but did not do the job. I tried the X Chocks and just the front stabilisers and the trailer was solid but seen as I had the full six bar kit I put them all on. I will continue to use the X Chocks with the stabilisers if we are on any kind of an incline

We have been extremely happy with the stabilizers we have used for over 7 years of fulltime use. Di

I went the cheap route for the rear, stealing some ideas from here. Hammered and drilled one end of conduit to mount to the foot of one stabilizer jack. Used a grounding clamp I found at Home Depot mounted to a stiff hinge. I wrapped that end with some grip tape for stairs. Less than $20 total. I added the Zipties for safety in case the pipe works loose while driving.
I'll probably install BAL up front if I find them for cheap, but may try another cheap setup if I have time to kill.

I agree with those other folks, Steady Fast is the way to go. Great product, great service. I had them on my Bullet TT, and when I sold it I removed them and put them on the Laredo. Easy install and they really work!
