Recommended Stabilizer Jacks for Off Road Use
Question:
My Husband and I are converting a cargo trailer into a camper, and are looking for some advice. We may be going off-road, and are concerned that attached stabilizers may get ripped off. What would your suggestion be? Thanks!!

This is difficult to answer without knowing the structure of the camper frame, how it's designed and the extended length you'll need, but I can certainly provide some general advice that will point you in the correct direction. I'm thinking a fold down type stabilizer jack would work well for you.
A fold down stabilizing jack like # 288-01892-2 would be a good choice if its 22-1/4 inch extended length would work for you. When folded up, the jack will only extend by 4-3/8 inches below the surface it's mounted to, so it'll have a pretty low profile that hopefully won't be damaged during off-road excursions.
For a total 24 inch lift, I'd recommend the ARK # AR34FR which will extend below the mounting surface by a bit more than 4-1/2 inches. ARK is an Australian company that manufactures their products with off-road use in mind, so you know you'll be getting a rugged product.
I've linked to product videos for the products I recommended.
