FWIW, I have an extra BAL leveler from my Tent Trailer if anyone wants to try to modify one of those or make a mount to make it work.

i'm doing something very similar with pre-drilled tube. it only about $10
worth of material but then it not as slick looking, the curse of being cheap...

Ain't a damn thing the matter with THAT. !!
Cheap and functional can be our friend...
Here is what I did on the current build..somewhere along what Elmo did, a drop foot jack that slides into the bumper ends

Be sure to ge the long one, 82297. Not the short one, 82301. The only place I could find the long ones was the site above.

i made mine they were intigrated into the tailgate frame, but you can buy the nice crank up ones at harbour freight/ princess auto/ any trailer supply place.
.
do you still have any wobble front to rear side to side with ths setup?

Got some similar ones at Harbor Freight for mine today. Two for the back, one for the front.

wobble ? not sure what you mean , the trailer is steady as a rock, i carry a small pipe wrench and use it to turn the feet in or out as needed to level out the trailer,, i can lift the wheels off the ground this way.. absolutley rock steady,, . the crank up jacks would prolly be a little bit easier, but my system works for me just fine, and there not gonna break and leave me scrambling for a trail fix somewhere,

I use Atwood friction jacks, available at most RV parts stores. They come in two extended lengths, 16.5" and 23.5". I mount them in receiver tubes so they are removable to keep them from being damaged.

Good idea! You could make a shackle/recovery point that fit's the reciever when on the trail, swap out to the stabilizer jack for camping.:ylsmoke:
