Since I originally asked for assistance from the forum on use of the JTs/Eliminators, it is unreal how many positive responses I have seen and likewise how many new RVers have just installed them.
Down South they evidently haven't caught on yet. In fact I probably will be the first one having them installed that I have ever seen. Seems like you RVers up N and W got smart on these stablizers earily on. For sure they definately do the trick. Makes you wonder why the ole RV sellers don't give you a hint about these up front versus having to stumble into them.

I found in my neck of the woods that most of the parts people have not heard of the JT's and when I mention them they can see a potential windfall, but the dealers are only interested in the sale of the units.
I am heading out on Saturday for two weeks at a huge campground in British Columbia and you can bet I will be trying to introduce the JT's to whoever will listen. I can't speak for some of the other makes of stabilizers on the market, but I sure am sold on the JT's.

Hey, from the detail I can make out kb strongarms look to be very professional made and detail. You may want to go into competition with JTs?
Look great.

Would that be extend or retract? Or does it matter? One thing I don't like about being in a camper is how much it moves, I will have to order a set of these.

Looks very good. I might even prefer yours with the locking handles at the bottom, rather than at the top like the JT's are, easier to get at.

Extend them a tad. It'll put a little strain on the t-bolts and eliminate any slop. After I lock the t-bolts, I just bump the extend button.
