I need stabilizers on my 20ft 12k trailer. I dont have room for a swivel screw type jack, and I dont want to remove my rear stake pockets.
I was thinking abkut getting some 1.5x3.5 7 guage steel tubing and drilling holes down it so I could pin it through the stake pockets. I would make it with a removable foot so I can pull them out if needed. When traveling I would just leave them in the highest position.
Is there anything wrong with this idea? Are the stake pockets strong enough? The heaviest thing I load at this moment is my ck3510 with loaded rear tires and a 1000lb ballast.
Of course I would have a lot of this tubing left over i would probably use to make some stake pocket D rings and a spare tire carrier.
