Can’t find a Tripod Stabilizer for King Pin “Ball”

Hello all, I have a 2018 SandSport Toy Hauler 5th wheel trailer that has a ball for a king pin. Not sure of the correct name, but that’s what I have. I’m attempting to find a stabilization tripod and I haven’t been able to. any assistance would be fantastic. If you’re not familiar with this type of set up, it’s a Pull Right 20K super lite hitch. The only stabilizers I could find are for a standard king pin and goosenecks which this is not, it’s a ball ..

Thank you in advance,

Hortuna

Bought my 5th wheel pin stabilizer in 1985 for our 1st rv trailer. It works great for what it does which is stabilize the front of the trailer.
Common sense/experience tells us it does nothing for the trailers rear so some type of stabilizer at the the rear is needed.

JTs or a similar product does the same thing for any type trailer that wiggle or motion isn't desirable.

Yes, they have to be cranked up tight.

If it looks kind of like a fifth wheel but has a ball in the truck bed it's called a Gooseneck trailer. But as the others have said, it won't be very stable sitting on just the ball.

They have them out there but honestly it mounts as a ball so it won't really do anything . Spend your money on the jt strongarms
