these seem better built than the others here on Amazon
as of August 2024, these "Maxxhaul" 50970 swing-down trailer stabilizer jacks have true WELDED foot pads (and release-lever mounts), whereas the others here all seem to have spot-welded assemblies. that by itself isn't a guarantee that it's a superior product- but so far I'm very impressed by their clearly-better manufacturing choice.I haven't installed them yet, so this is just a preliminary review- I'll update this if they have any issues staying extended and supporting weight (as many reviews seem to indicate with the others).stuff you likely won't bother to read:if you wish to compare materials: the foot pad steel plate measures 0.0955", or 2.43mm. there's probably no significant difference between the various versions, but- I'm curious how others compare.this is also minor- but the pivot shaft seems better engineered. (third image.) other versions seem to have a shaft that is partially "hollow" on the end where it's flared out to secure it in place... these have the entire steel shaft protruding through (both sides), and then it's swaged in place. again, this is just something I noticed and probably not structurally significant.and the basic swing-away design seems to be the same as the others- meaning there isn't enough room for the jack foot when retracted (in it's "up" position) to drop into the notch and stay safely up (off the roadway!), if you're attempting to install these *in an area of your trailer frame that's not already designed for swing-down stabilizers.*so- unless you're replacing existing jacks with these, or you have designed a recessed area where the foot can swing up into- the solutions are to either (1) add a spacer below your trailer frame when you are welding or bolting the jack in place (1/4" to 3/8" or so), *or* (2) grind out the "retracted" notches a few millimeters so that the jack locking tabs will drop into the notches a little earlier in their travel when swinging up.side note: I have an original set that came on a trailer that's probably 30 years old - and stamped into it is a warning NOT to lubricate the sliding portion.I don't know why that same warning isn't on the newer versions- but since these only stay in place because of friction and the angular "bite" of the release lever wedging into the steel surface- I would imagine that lubrication could compromise its ability to grip and stay locked, and therefore be a stability concern.so- even though there doesn't appear to be any warnings here about that- which is surprising to me, in a modern society that just *loves* to warn people not to do things- I wanted to remind others that may have read this far into my novel *not* to oil or grease the sliding parts.(feel free to lubricate the pivot points- but carefully, so it won't accidentally get on any of the sliding/locking surfaces.)~R.

Easy to install
Seems good. Used a bolt already there and then tapped another 5/16th. This is on a Karavan 5’ x 10’ single axle trailer from tractor supply

Fantastic Stabilizers - Very Easy to Install and Use
The media could not be loaded. These are solid, simple and really well built stabilizers. Can not be beat for the price. I added them to the back end of a 6x10 utility trailer.When the legs are down you can jump on the very back and the trailer doesn’t move a bit. Without these, it’ll do a “wheelie” and the entire front of the trailer comes off the ground.To attach them, just hold one to the frame and mark the center of both holes. Drill 5/16 holes and use 3/8-16 self tapping steel bolts (reminder: make sure the hole is SMALLER than 3/8).The instructions say you can use a 1/4” spacer (not included) if needed, but it wasn’t necessary for me. Once bolted on there was zero interference.The only special thing I’ve learned is that if you put the legs down when the trailer is empty, then load a heavy load into the trailer, it can put much more pressure on the legs (which is fine) because the suspension is being flexed essentially lowering the trailer. Usually you can release the legs by hand, but under load, you may need to step on it do a quick stomp on the release lever to get the legs to retract a bit. First time this happened I wasn’t sure what to do so hope this is helpful.
