I'd like to see what some of you would come up with as I tried a pair of these worthless jack stands and returned them. I could still rock the TD since that nut just sits on the stands, they just pitch in & out. :) Danny Image

hi guys, i`m currently experimenting with a pair of drop down type clamped stabilisers that i have mounted in-board at the rear.These are normally used on car transporter trailers to steady it when car is being loaded onto it, they weigh about 2 pounds each.
They are simply lowered by loosening the clamp and dropped down before retightening so are pretty much adjustable to any height. All that is left is to wind up the jockey wheel a bit to press em down.
