We are about to purchase a Cruiser Patriot. We are interested in adding the optiional stabalizer, 4-point leveling system to our Cruiser . However, we've been told they are gining a lot of trouble to owners. Please can I get feedback from any of you that have this system? Thanks.

I haven't seen any posts pertinent to JT Strongarms? I just ordered a new 34SS and I ordered the JT Strongarms with it. I have only heard good things about them. Now, how people use them or how they have been shown to use them may be a different story, I cannot attest to that. I've read and heard nothing but good things. Hope this helps.

Don't know about JT but Steadyfast has been working great for me for a couple years now.

Any form of Stabilizers that triangulates with the landing gear will be beneficial. (JT, SteadyFast, PlugItRight, etc.)Other forms of stabilization like a kingpin tripod don't compare. Most of us that have these products probably sold or gave away our KP tripods.I got $50 for mine after I installed PlugItRight's version.

I think Bob has the answer here. The "4 point" system is 4 pistons attached to the frame as opposed to the 6 point system. The JT Strongarm system then attaches to the legs as they would on any other system. We have the Eliminator system on our trailer and I could see where one issue would be if you do not loosen the T handles from the JT system prior to lowering or lifting the 4 point system. well something has to give at some point. I cannot see the 4 point system in itself being any different than the 6 point. Now the "Landing Gear Collapsed" post seems to have exposed a flaw but we will have to see how that turns out.

Just installed the JT StrongArm 6 Point stabilizers today onour Cruiser 345RF. Nice set up and probably overkillwith this much triangulation- seems to take about 90% of the movement out of the trailer and that's great for me. Had to move the spare tire back about two inches, easy job. Good mounting system and excellent instructions.

WE installed steady-fast stabilizers and they are great. Were easy to install even with having to move the spare tire back about 3inches.
