Default Stabilizer modification - Ultra-Fab

I did this modification to help stabilize the TM. My wife is motion sensitive and the jiggling of the trailer bothered her. I got this:
http://www.ultra-fab.com/new_detail....gnum=48-979007

Got it from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The package I got came with hardware for six stabilizers. I only used two. Most of my issue is front to back rocking, so I only used them in that direction (so far). I used one on the front left, and I had to modify a bit to get around the spare tire carrier. It came with a piece that was supposed to mount vertically, but I mounted it sideways so I could get around the part of the spare tire carrier that was coming out the side. On the front right I couldn't use it at all because of the spare tire carrier. On the rear left I couldn't use it because of the gray and black water drains, so I put one on the right rear. They came with self-tapping bolts, which I used to make threads and then backed them out and screwed the adapter for the struts.

They have definitely helped. Other posts have talked about re-positioning of the stabilizers and that seems like a great idea too, but this seemed easier for my level of mechanical ability.

I just sold 2 today, and I think I will keep the last 2 for spare parts.
