Yes and claim they take 90% of the movement out. The other 9% is tire/spring bounce and I put scissor jacks in front of the tires to take that out.

Mine made a lot of difference. Before I installed them I would wake my wife in the morning making coffee from the movement. I added them and the scissor jacks and the movement is almost nill. I am very happy with them.

I installed JTs the second year we had ours. Well worth the money.

JT's work really well especially if you don't have the dropped frame in the front. If your legs are extended a long way then the JT's really come in handy!! With the scissor jacks added you pretty much have gotten rid of the bounce.........Almost, still them tires with air in them.

Thinking the Lippert Level up system or the Big Foot is the best way to go, but dig deep in them pocket books for them.

I use the Winfield RV Products front stabilizers. Liked them so well I moved them from our Titanium to the Monty when we sold the Ti.

I'm happy to say I made my own. I made 4 stabilizers for the front for under 140 bucks. Soon 2 for the rear stabilizers.

I also made mine and it was a lot cheaper than the JT's, but just as effective. But very worth the effort.

We don't have the lippert system but the BigFoot system. While their job is to level they do offer some stabilization. That said, they didn't offer enough for us so we continue to use our Plug It Right stabilizers. Diana

If you can afford the Big Foot system then that's a great option. But we're talking thousands of dollars versus a couple to three hundred for the JT stabilizers.

Look around because there are other very suitable systems using less components that work just as well and are less expensive while doing it.
