Back Stabilizers

Our 08 Cf32BL came with 24" stabilizers on the rear that were too short and since new I have been hauling around extra blocks and consider this a royal pain in the rear. Have you had the same problem? Today I finally broke down and ordered a pair of 30" stabilizers off of Ebay. Don't know why I didn't do it before, I guess I didn't think about it until I went camping.

I had the original scissor jacks and replaced them with BAL 3 point stabilizers. Made a big difference in rig movement when camped. You will probably notice the same thing.

I carry two jack stands, just place these under the rear stabilizers and crank them down

That is a great idea! I swear I get new ideas or learn something almost everytime I am on this forum. Anybody want some blocks of wood?
Thanks Frank!

I installed the 30" jacks I bought on Ebay for 65.00 with shipping and they are perfect.I had to do a simple modification by using a 1/4 inch plate 6x10" to move the jacks in toward each other by 3" each so they don't stick out the sides of the 5er.
