Trailer Rear Stabilizers

These were made about 35 years ago.  If you are unloading something really heavy and it picks the back of the truck up these will take care of that.  These were pretty crude and just made from 2 pieces of angle iron welded together.  If I did it now it would be square tubing but sometimes you just use what you have sitting around... 

They were never finished up and painted so I did that when the trailer was in the shop a few weeks ago.  They also needed some more grinding so they fit better, a drain hole was drilled in the bottoms , and the hitch pins were cut down.  Nothing fancy but I thought someone may like the idea so here they are. 

It also got some other work while it was in here.  The front jack had been replaced and was in a bad place so one was put back at the front, along with one of the quick adjusters we make here.  It also got some new hubcaps that cover the lugnuts and studs completely to keep them from getting wet and rusting. 

I was surprised the front ball mount was so HD, it has a tongue weight of 6250lbs and 25,000lb gross weight, more than enough.  If you're looking for a custom receiver hitch to put on a trailer that was also done when it was in the shop, it is here - Trailer receiver hitch
