If you are referring to the struts attached to the jacks and stabilizers, I believe JTs Strong Arm is the only one that actually uses the strongarm terminology. That is what I use and they work great. There are other brands using similar concepts, but different names.

We've always had level-up, but those I know swear by Jt's.

JT's here on the last 2 fivers. There are other companies making the same product concept such as BAL and Steadyfast. Some SOB's come with one of those brands straight from the factory, so I guess they all work. I used to haul around the ole king pin tripod ship anchor. JT's are infinitely better and they stay on the fiver ... no finding a home for them in the back of the pickup or a storage compartment.

We’ve used the Steadyfast system on three different rigs, we recommend these highly. These make a world of difference, there is even a difference when used on a system with LevelUp. The Steadyfast braces only use three arms and are super quick to deploy/store. Very well engineered product.

Put Steadyfast on our old TT back about ten years ago and loved the system. Went to a fall Rally after we got our Monty, back about five years ago and picked up a Strongarm system on sale. It was a bit more difficult to install and is a whole lot heavier than a Steadyfast, but it does the same job equally well. You can't go wrong with either system.
