    Rear stabilizer on 2016 337RLS

    Just got my new unit home a week ago and while I was crawling underneath to read the weight capacity on the axle tag (6k each). I happened to notice a tag on the rear stabilizers that said Ground Control 2.0. The LCI web site says they are rated at 5k each. Does anyone happen to know anything about these? I was told by the dealer tech that they were only stabilizers and not to be used for lifting. Since I'm a newbie I am a bit confused.

    The stabilizers meant to stabilize your trailer, and they don't have the strength to lift your trailer.

    They remove some of the motion of your trailer when people move around. And they work best when they're not fully extended 24" to the ground. I carry a bunch of 2 x 8's cut into 8" squares to stack under the pads.

    You just extend the stabilizers until they're tight.
