    Yes. Installed JT Strongarms on our 337 last year. On the back jacks I installed them towards the back of camper on frame. Nothing in middle to attach to, plus you would have to crawl under trailer to tighten or loosen thumb screws every time you set up or tear down. They work great, except, because back jacks are right behind axles there is a lot of overhang on the rear of camper with no support. Not a big deal, except in our case, we travel with teenage boys. If they are bouncing around on the rear couch or fold out bed, you can still feel it up front. I also use a portable stabilizer under rear bumper (2 fold out legs on an angle with a ratchet strap to tighten them up, forgot what they're called, bought at Camp World) solid now, no more wiggle!!
    Fairly easy to install. Get good drill bit and be patient drilling through frame.

    Scott and Jan i live in Stuart, Fl. and we were up your way this past weekend at Wekiwa SP in Apopka. Came home and ordered JT Strongarms. We have a 2015 without rear bumper. If i understand you correctly you bolted Strongarm to bumper and to rear legs? It looks like quite an angle from the bumper to legs. Thought about installing square tubing or angle iron in front of spare tire to use as an anchoring point in the middle. Yes i agree it would be a pain in the butt to have to crawl under each time to tighten T bolt. We don't have children going with us so i'll try only the front set up first. Would you be kind enough to send a pic of your setup please. Thank you for your reply

    Pic is in stowed/travel position. Attached JT from rear jack to frame at the measurement in instructions. Can still reach T bolts just like front ones. 2nd pic is RV Stabilizer by Valtera that I use under rear bumper for extra stability. Can be placed under rear frame or receiver hitch also. Hope this helps!

    You are welcome, Henry! Gave me an excuse to get up off the recliner that night to go outside and take the pics.
    Glad Dave got to help you figure out how to see pics. I haven't been on here in a few days.
