The best spot for two stabilizers

I don't find my trailer's wobbling that noticeable or annoying, but I'd like to give some stabilizers a try. Since the BAL Lock-Arms are pretty inexpensive, I'd like to try out a pair.

Where would the best spots be to mount them on a travel trailer and why?

The company usually send you instructions on where to install the stabilizer arms.

We added ours to the front jacks to cut down on the side to side rocking. when the kiddos are moving around I can get kinda seasick if I'm laying down on the bed in front. Seemed to help out. I can take a couple pix when we go by the storage yard if you like

So you mounted both stabilizers going across the trailer so they meet up in the center? I'd sure appreciate that picture when you get a chance.

Yes, they meet in the center of the front beam. With the huge slide, we get a bit more rocking then other trailers I've been in. My fil's 5er seems to rock more front to back.

I installed them on the front and they bolt to jacks and then meet at the center of the front cross member. They work very well and much cheaper than some of the others. I will be getting a pair for the rear jacks soon.
