Ha ha ha!

You bet. Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for checking it out!

Sure. We have two lengths. Here are the jacks: overlandtrailer.com/product/trailer-frame-stabilizer-jacks/

Thanks! I'm curious how these are working out for you?

Hi Ken. Good question. Typically, the jacks are on the back with a tongue jack on the front (some people put them on all 4 corners). What I do advise people to do is to build the entire trailer and then spend a night in it. It you roll over and everything rocks and rolls (depending on how loaded the trailer is, your axle type, and how much enthusiasm you have when rolling over), then get the jacks. They bolt right on and can help stabilize for sleeping. But if you don't need them, save the cash and the additional weight on your rig!

Good question. The purpose of these jacks is to keep the trailer from rocking. Teardrops use a pretty light rated axle. Two people sleeping inside can rock the trailer a bit when rolling over in bed during the night OR a strong wind can rock the trailer. These jacks stop that from happening. Not everyone needs them but they are nice. As far as leveling a Teardrop, I always go simple. The tongue jack lifts up and down and the whole thing pivots on the axle. That's one direction. The other direction is pretty simple with a block of wood or a rock under a tire. If it's an offroad teardrop the leveling jacks may be more helpful but, even then, most of the time they're just extra weight.

You bet Ted. Glad it was helpful!

Yes, no one explains that one. Happy it helped.

Sweet! Thanks for watching.

Good question. We make our own at OT. If you're interested, email us at support@overlandtrailer.com. You could also make your own out of 1/2" steel bar stock.

Hi Chris, That groove can help the rod track correctly but I'd go easy on forcing the jack to release. It's easier to take a bit of pressure off of the jack (drop the tongue for example) and then fold the jacks back up.

Sometimes dirt can build up in the slide (if it isn't used often. Try cleaning it with a hose at high pressure and then pull on it.

I hope you found this helpful! Are you building a teardrop trailer?

@@OverlandTrailer Thanks for replying, and to answer your question I have two full size trailer that I built, walk in trailers the first one was ten foot long and the last one is a fourteen and a half feet, that not including the poles. the first weighed 1650 lbs and the second weighs in at 2450 hundred pounds . take care

I'll measure and get back to you. I've never thought of that!

13" When folded up

Hi Zoobiewa. Great question. They can be released without lowering the tongue but it's easier if you do. It also reduces wear and tear on them.

Or just raise the tongue jack so the front two are off the ground. Reset those. Then lower the tongue and release the rears.

The groove can be used to force the jack looser. However, it is much harder on the jack over time than just releasing some of the pressure on the jack itself.

Great question. No, it's never fallen down on our own trailers or on the rentals. There is a pretty strong spring inside the holds the jack in place. 13 years and going strong. The one thing that can happen, eventually, is the finish will wear off and they can rust. A lot of offroading can make them harder to extend with mud but we have other stabilizer jacks that we recommend for the offroaders.

@@OverlandTrailer thank you for your reply!

You Bet! Happy to help.@@betterwithrum

Hi Sung Lee. There are two stabilizer jacks on the back of this trailer but the camera angle doesn't show the other. The weight limit depends on the one you get. There are two sizes. You can see them at: www.overlandtrailer.com/product/trailer-frame-stabilizer-jacks/

@@OverlandTrailer "The weight limit depends on the one you get" ... Neither option talks about the weight. Sung is asking about the Max Gross weight these re rated to hold. Are these rated? You only have two options, why not just tell him the max weight they will hold for the 18" and the max weight for the 22 1/4? I'm interested in this item too but does not talk about what the gross weight is.
