Standard stabilizer having an issue

[Toy4Rick]

Not a leveling issue, but one with the stabilizer on our 2022 2500RL

The rear stabilizer appears to be coming out of the bracket that holds it in place, hoping I can bend the bracket back to better hold it, time will tell as we are out camping now.

It appears the stabilizer is sitting in a channel and the front side of the channel is flexed out so the stabilizer is twisting when I put any kind of minimal pressure on it when in contact with the ground or blocks.

1. Any experience with these and can it be fixed?
2. If this becomes a bigger issue, is it worth considering the installation of actual leveling jacks? I put a Hydraulic set on my Class C a few years ago and it wasn't too bad once I got past the cost... LOL

Thanks, Rick

Doesn’t sound like it is a very serious issue

big difference between a 50 dollar stabilizer and a multi thousand dollar auto leveling system

I bought some aluminum stands to add support by the axles. You could just use those

I think if you could post a picture or two that would be very helpful to evaluate what is going on and potential solutions.

the line along the edge of the stabilizer should be up and in the bracket shown by the circle

You will probably not get many answers on those stabilizers.

You own a test unit. GD used those stabilizers for only 1 run in production, so there isn't many rigs out there with them on.

Most are the scissor jack type, which they ultimately stayed with after experimenting with the type you have.

I have one of those units. I will look at my pictures to see, and when I am at my trailer location this weekend I will take some pics of what the look like in that area. These jacks are less effective than regular scissors jacks.

Kind of, but the OP has an Imagine. They only did a short test run on the Imagine line.

Reflection TT's have had power stab jacks from day one.

Anyway to rip down a peace of lumber and wedge it in the channel? If so secure it place out on the ends away from the stabilizer contact points.
