I have finally bent one of the rear stabilizers to the point where it has to be replaced. There seem to be many stabilizers with different lifts. Which one do I order to replace the one in the rear that I was able to decommission quite easily. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Safe Travels.

My 2008 r-pod didn't come with front stabilizers, so I added a pair of http://www.amazon.ca/BAL-23025-Stabilizing-Jacks-Trailer/dp/B000GGMSQM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1420237226&sr=8-6&keywords=bal+stabilizer - Bal Stabilizing jacks . They're low-profile, easy maintenance and still work well after five years of use. They're rated at 700lbs each - so they're definitely for stabilizing, not for lifting

They were reasonably priced - a pair cost me $50 at my local dealer. Installation was simple - a few holes drilled in the frame and use the supplied screws to attach them. Maintenance is also very simple - lithium grease once a year keeps them in good shape.

I highly recommend them.

Don't know the exact part number, but you should be able to match it up with one of these...
