If you are attending the rally and are interested in this modification contact me. I have a simple adapter that will allow simple bolt on installation. I can instruct you in making your own or you can purchase a pair for $35

    @Dalehelman did this mod for me and I love it! The Tab actually feels less bouncy with them, and three point leveling is a breeze! It’s also quick and easy to put them down and up with my cordless drill.

    Thanks for the review. I don’t do this for the profit just my time, wear and tear and materials.

    I guess this would also provide built-in jacks for changing tires or wheel maintenance, plus avoid the guessing game of where to put a jack.
    Wish I was gonna be there.

    The factory stabilizers can be used for tire and wheel servicing. It has been discussed at great length in many threads.  Basically chock wheels. Unhitch trailer. Lower tongue as low as possible with tongue jack. Extend rear stabilizers all the way to the ground. Then raise tongue till tires leave the ground. This provides a very stable three point platform to work from. Each stabilizer is rated at 1000lbs plus the tongue jack which is 2000 lbs.

    Yep, I think I've read them all.  But you wouldn't reinstall the stabilizers.
    My understanding is that stabilizers cannot be used for jacking up the trailer, just for statically holding the back end up off the wheels.  But your mod can do both, plus leveling, is that correct?

    Correct. Plus the added benefit that you can unhook your trailer. Reposition your trailer on site to take better advantage of a view or site. Without having to roll up on leveling devices. No need to carry and store additional leveling materials or bulky devices.

    Ah, hadn't realized the repositioning benefit, another bonus. 
    Here's a question about the mechanics of using your jacks fastened under the trailer for leveling: 
    If the ground is unlevel between the two jacks, wouldn't that put lateral stress on the jack & its mounting to the trailer (unless you could make a level spot on the ground area immediately under the foot of the jack)?  I'm just trying to picture how the jack could remain vertical and not be leaning downhill with the slope.  Or maybe the foot has enough flexibility to adjust to a slightly unlevel ground.  Wondering what is the most out-of-level situation where you could still safely use the jacks.

    In over 3 years we have never found a site that would not allow safe usage of the jacks.

    Dale, I'm ready to purchase these also. I will be at UCamp, so I can pay you then or send you a check. I also want to see if you will have time show me how to do the install. Do I just need to bring the scissor jacks?

    Can do. The mounting plates on the jacks should look similar to the picture. You buy them in pairs for $60-$70. 24” jacks for 320 Max or 30” for boondocks

    I have not installed them on a 400 yet. I think the 400 uses the same stabilizer jacks as the 320 should work.

    I currently have 5 sets at $25 per set. After these are gone it will be necessary for me to increase my price to $35. You can still make them yourself if you have an electric hand drill a hacksaw and file. Cost will depend on the price you have to pay for 2’ of 3/16x2” flat steel bar and 2 3/8” x1 1/4” carriage bolts. 
    Yellow circle  dimension should be 5 1/4”
    not 5 3/4”
