Stabalizer jacks

[Blaze45]

Needed or not needed, we got a set off of e-bay. Of course no paperwork came with them...
At any rate, these are the bolt-on variety. They appear to extend, but at this time can't seem to figure out how that is accomplished.
Also, when down in the locked position, the arms angle forward- not rearward. Darndest thing I've ever seen. They have a spring loaded chingadera that one would step on, that does nothing. I'll see what I can do, or if anyone has the foggiest idea, please let me know. Thanks!

Hold the presses! I found out how to extend the legs, but why they angle forward is beyond me...

Another thing about stabilisers, If one were to devise a method of locking them in the down position makes the trailer more theft resistant.

Of course did not stop the thief what stole one of my trailers,
They were determined and came prepared. But if anything, Its a deterrent and slows them down somewhat.
