Camco Olympian Aluminum Stack Jacks 44560

Adjustable aluminum stands stabilize parked trailers, resist corrosion, and stack compactly for storage.

Not for: Lifting trailers, changing tires, or supporting vehicles during repairs.

BAL (brand)

BAL makes tongue jack stands that hold up a parked trailer tongue without the tow vehicle.

Not for: Those who need frame stabilization at the corners.

Stabilize vs lift. Stabilizer stands only steady a parked trailer; never use them to lift it or to support it during wheel work. They are not rated as lifting jacks and can fail or tip under shifted weight.
Load rating per stand. Each stand's rating should exceed the load it carries, especially at the tongue. Tongue weight concentrates load on a single point.
Height range. Measure ground to frame at the stand position, then confirm the stand adjusts across that range. Stands too short need stacked blocks, which reduce stability.
Base footprint. Use wide bases or pads on soft ground. Narrow feet sink into gravel and dirt.

Do stabilizer stands level my trailer?

No; level the trailer with blocks or levelers first, then lower the stands just enough to stop movement.
