Do you need 4 stabilizer jacks

[Woody]

I went to a junk yard and bought two Honda scissor jacks for $5.00 each doesn't get much cheaper other than for free

Altough the trailer frame seems a little flimsy now, it will become much more rigid once the "box" is mounted on top. If you try the same test after your done (or at least the walls and roof (ribs and luan) are on) you will find little or no deflection.

Think unibody on frame.
I would go with two on the back and the tounge jack. john

Referencing my my post earlier in this thread about my originally thinking I will need 4 stabilizers. Now that my framing is coming along, I agree with John and believe I will need only the two rear ones; it has REALLY become a rigid structure now.

But, for some reason, the girlfriend still thinks we need 4 of them - I wonder why....

I'll probably try to fabricate my own stabilizers, some kinda fold-down affair. All these $20-40 expenses keep adding up ya know.

Go to the junkyard, and ask for a couple of matching scissor jacks from a car/truck..I welded two to the frame of the Stripper. Work well, cost 10 bucks each!! If you know somebody..maybe less!
