To stabalize the back end of a small utility trailer, would I need one or two of these stabalizers? Typical weight in the back end would be 500 lbs.

The Scamp Trailer comes with two of them. One on each side. There purpose is to "Stabilize" the trailer when parked. I can't imagine doing that job with one stabilizer.

They are stabilizers and are not intended to be used as a means of lifting your trailer. That said they would most likely do it. I have used them several times and the seem to work well.

The description says 600lbs each, totaling 1200, however the complete answer isn't so simple. What they really do is restore that much lifting ability to your stock suspension, the vehicle will still have the same max load rating as without them but the suspension won't sag as much at any particular load up to that point.

The information on the Amazon webite says 5,000 lbs, and I have no reason to believe otherwise. This device is not a rapid link, so it is not designed to hold weight constantly (like in a crane setup). I use mine to hook up a tow chain, which means that one of thej chain links will likely fail long before it reaches the 5,000 capacity of this clip.

I use two jacks for my 26-foot trailer. Three would be better. My trailer seems to be softly sprung, and these jacks remove most of the jiggle and sway. They're light, easy to store and easy to use, and they do a much better job of stabilization than standard jacks, especially under the frame near a slide-out. I really like them.

It works great. I have used it from 30 inch up to approximately 60"....As far as lbs..rate it is a stabilizer and it just provides another anchor point to help keep the 5th wheel movement to a minimum. .

I use the cart to hold my fifth wheel trailer hitch when out of my truck. The hitch weighs more than 90 pounds. I am not concerned about the weight--it is very sturdy. That being said I take care of what I run over moving the cart fully loaded due to the small wheels and cracks or perturbations in the surface over which I am rolling over. A crack caused some forward flex that made me cautious. I really like the cart and trust it.

I used this as a spare. I saw no weights on the wheel. I checked my trailer tires and saw no weights on them either. Best answer I can give - for the money go have it balanced.

A lot. The legs are aluminum based. A pair should hold 300-400 lbs., no problem.

Certainly: It's small, lightweight and in use digs into both the tire and the ground/pavement to hold the trailer securely, best to have two, one in front and one behind the same wheel. I bought two pairs so I could secure both wheels of my cargo trailer. Good Luck, Glen, Michigan

The stabilizer bars were not available at the time I purchased it, or at least I was not aware they were available. Yes, bars across the bottom and sandbags will help a lot. That said, it is not an easily collapsible or portable product. I would say it's like a very heavy tent frame, one that can support your weight.

No....what kind of issues are you having? All it does is take the load and levels it more for stability and weight distribution. I recommend getting stabilizer for it to if your hauling a larger trailer.

Not a lot. Maybe a couple of pounds. Mounting has more to do with stability than with supporting a lot of weight.

I think the frame would be strong enough, and the forward weight adequate to counter the weight added at the rear, but you'd likely have to have it welded on as the pre-drilled holes and width of frame rails probably would not line up. Remember that the 2 secondary receivers have to be welded on anyway, so you may as well have the welder(s) do the whole thing. It should work though, and other than the massive weight of the thing, I am completely satisfied with mine. I put on mine an 800# Concours 14 and pull a 3500# pop-up trailer with 400# tongue weight. No probs.

Its a pair a two shocks. They will ride more rough than stock but it will allow you to carry a trailer without squatting down the back so much and/or fix sagging leaf springs without replacing them.

The Mfgr states that they will take "tremendous weight" and that they can be used as a stabilizer under leveling jacks. They don't say how much weight they will withstand.....
