Steadyfast vs JT Strong Arm

[dkrajicek]

Has anyone had experience with these two stabilizing systems? If so which do you prefer??

I like the JT's but buy the best deal on either

Really liked our SteadyFast system on our previous rig. Did a great job. Only drawback was keeping the "giant wing-nut" lubricated, when we traveled to "wintery places" we had issues with corrosion making it hard to turn. But overall loved the ease of the system. Takes much less muscle to tighten effectively.

I have JT's. I like them helps keep a good bit of sway out but not all of it. Works good in the front. Not so much in the back. When the kids get rowdy the RV shakes a lot.

I had Steadyfast on my last Bighorn, they worked great, easy install, easy set up. They do need lubrication when traveling after winter road treatment.

I have Steadyfast and have been very happy with it.

A search of either brand here will turn up some very recent threads that may be helpful.

We had the JT Strong Arm on our last rig and the system was great and helped a lot.

I had the Steadyfast on my Big Country and was very impressed with the system. Never a problem. To me it looks like a higher quality and better system than the JT's.

I installed the JT's on our Sundance. They made all the difference in the world. The only hard part of the install was drilling through the frame rails. I bolted them to the frame rather than using the self tapping screws. Either way you go it will be a significant improvement. Important note: loosen the locking bolts prior to operating the jacks
