Stabilizer jack replacement

I guess this would be under running gear.

The trailer had jack damage, two on the same side, one repairable. I ordered the replacement, it is under the name BAL now. Replacement of the first one was easy, the mounting holes had to be enlarged so they would fit the 5/16" studs since they were not on the same c-c distance. I thought the new jacks were so nice I'd replace the second one even though I had repaired it.

So the second one showed up, the jacks are telescoping, one side slides into the other for distance adjustment. The second one was either both male or both female. So it went back. I think I'll just install the repaired one.

So if you order replacement jacks, make sure you specify one male and one female.

Good advice.

Can you provide the item numbers and where you purchased them? That will likely help someone in the future.

Bal84230 from amazon.

Stock is 20”, these are 24” which works also.

That’s unfortunate you didn’t get parts that work together. I installed a BAL set on my prior trailer that telescoped with a channel that went across the entire trailer for support. If I remember correctly, the jacks slid into the center channel.

I ordered mine from Dyer RV.

These are the type I got: https://balrvproducts.com/product/delux ... cks-24-30/

Those are the ones. I probably transposed the numbers.
