A tripod stabilizer stands under the front of a fifth wheel and locks onto the king pin, or onto a gooseneck coupler for the gooseneck model, to stop the front-to-back rocking that the landing gear lets through. Match the height range to your pin height with the trailer level. Ratings run from 1,200 to 7,500 lb, and the aluminum tripod trades capacity for a lighter carry.
