Hey, everybody. How's it goin' Today we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the MORryde X-Brace Fifth-Wheel Stabilizer System here on a 2018 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheel. So we mentioned these braces installing in the front of the trailer. Now, the reason that we're gonna be seeking support for the front, because the rear of the trailer is obviously gonna be a little bit more stable. Chances are we already have some jacks back there, whether they're just the scissor-type jacks or the electric-stabilizing jacks, and we also have the axles and wheels to rest on. So there's definitely gonna be a lot more support at the rear of the trailer than there is at the front.
Therefore, adding these supports to the front, attaching them to the front landing gear legs in particular, it's really gonna increase the rigidity of our trailer. We're not gonna have nearly as much bucking and bouncing around, especially when we're getting in and out of bed at night 'cause on the Jayco Eagle, our bedroom is actually located at the front of the trailer. So there's a few different type of stabilizers for the front of your fifth-wheel trailers here. We have the MORryde options which is what we're showing you guys. There's also another one from Lippert called the JT Strong Arms, and those are great products as well.
They do work well. However, the biggest difference between those and the MORryde option here is gonna come down to the installation. The Strong Arms are much more involved to install. They require drilling and modifications to your trailer. They're gonna take you a lot more time than the MORryde kit we have here, which brings me to my next point in regards to the installation.
So the MORryde kit here, it attaches to the front landing gear legs, and it's gonna offer a completely bolt-on installation. There's no modification required to the trailer whatsoever. So just some common hand tools are gonna allow you to get this job done in pretty much no time and offer stability to your trailer to keep it much more stable. So another feature of the X-Braces that not all other stabilizers have, such as the JT Strong Arms, is that we can actually adjust and decrease the tension here on our landing gear legs by simply turning these bars in one direction or the other. And what this is doing is this is essentially either bringing the feet closer together or pushing them further apart.
Therefore, that adjustable tension really allows us to fine-tune our setup for the perfect mix between support and comfort. So we're actually gonna be leaving these X-Braces permanently installed on the trailer. We don't actually have to remove those, although we can easily do this if we wanted to. We can actually leave these attached to the trailer. But before we do that, we wanna ensure that all the components are in good working condition and they have the correct protection to withstand the elements of being outside. Everything that this kit comes with here is gonna have zinc-plated hardware along with these powder-coated rods. Therefore, we're not gonna have any issues with these being installed outside, subjected to the elements. They're definitely gonna hold up for time to come. So there is one thing that I really wanna hammer home with you guys. So we are leaving these installed, but we do need to do one critical thing before we operate the actual landing gear legs in our trailer here. And that's make sure that we have the pins removed here that secure the inner and outer rods. So in order to do that, you're going to need to loosen this outer tube here to free up the tension, and then we should be able to move our pin back and forth, and then we'll just simply remove that like so. So we obviously have one for each of these bars here. You can see this one's a little tight. I can't quite move that out. I'm going to spin the bar here to loosen that up and then we should just be able to pull it or it will fall right out. So we need to make sure that both of these lanyards are removed before we operate the landing gear legs. If we forget to take those out, we can damage the landing gear legs on the trailer as well as the X-Braces. So that is a critical step you wanna make sure of each time. But there's actually a little handy reminder that gets installed where the controls are for your landing gear legs, so it's just an extra part to help you re
