Hi,
Just purchased an old school Hi-Lo 1960's, not sure what year, as it has been totally taken apart and put back together. Pics to come, where is the best place to mount stabilizer jacks. Its a 1960's model, about 9 ft length inside.
I have gutted the inside and going to put some seating and a bar for tailgating at races and football games.

Ultra-Fab 48-979002 24" Scissor Jack, (Pack of 2), they hang about 4 1/2 inches, they seem stable and large enough to support. Was thinking about behind the wheels half way between tires and back frame, however they may hang too low.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike D.

Most of the older trlrs are so low that permanently mounting a jack is not normally done. Your jack location sounds good.
I also have an older hi-lo(1985), and mine are just slipped under the rear bumper and removed when leaving spot.
Plus on mine the stabilizer jacks are for stabilizing only. Not to lift or adjust angle. It will change the door closure ability. My frame is too flexible, as most others.
However a small one like yours may be different.
