With only one is it better to place it under the frame or bumper? I want to get an idea as to how it works and how it holds up before getting another

We put a step stabilizer under our steps and put our vaulter to stab on the opposite side of unit where a slide comes out we love it really works we have a 25 ft c class

I have a 5th wheel with electric rear jacks so I use mine on the sides. I too started with one and out really did the job so will be buying a second

I bought two and use them under each side of the frame right side and left side.It works really well to help stop the wobbling.

I have found that a single unit is fine. In fact, it is much easier to install just 1 unit than trying to get 2 of them even (level) with each other. Just line it up with one of the front tires, and stick. Since most people are used to "feeling" for a cement block / curb with their tire, you can feel it when you rest up against it. I have 19 inch tires on my car and feel it with no issue, and also had no issue feeling it with our SUV. If you had a monster truck or something with really knobby tires, you might have an issue but otherwise its fine. I still love these things!

It's better with 2 for each side. Best is screwing down the base! Which we ended up doing even with 2 weights

It sits on the bumper, but isn't load bearing. It actually extends below the bumper, and you have to drill holes in the main frame underneath. It uses two existing bolts and you put in a third.

On top of the cab overlooking the bed would be an easy spot with self tapping screwed. Or on the tailgate again with screwes and a quick disconnect if you wanted to take the tailgate off.. I dont think you would want to mount it any lower as it may not give the view you would want. You could if you wanted mount under the bumper you would need to put a strong and very large like 4 or 5 inch wide and deep U channel around it to protect it

Nope. It bolts right onto the frame behind the bumper. You may need to drill 1" holes to get the bolts into the frame so make sure you have a drill big enough to hold a bit that large. I had to drill for my installation but there was a different set of bolts if the holes weren't necessary.

I believe so you may have to pull out the plastic insert in your bumper but there should be no issues they mount in one hole in the bottom of the frame and onto two studs but as always double check with your local dealer ship they can tell you for sure

We mount these units under our vehicles. Normally to the frame behind the rear bumper. In addition, we install a cut-off switch for the "just in case" scenarios. Hope this helps.

The platform has enough area to lift a bike with both wheels off the ground without a problem. Two of them might give you more stability, but I don't see how you could fit two of the jacks under the bike and lift by the frame. You bike is different than mine, obviously, but if I could even get two underneath, I'd be lifting partly by the exhaust pipes, and they'd probably get damaged in the process. I think you'd be better off with paddocks.

this is the front. It is only one strut so you have to order 2 (side specific) to do both front. Honestly, you should look at the complete strut assembly. It is easier to go on and cheaper if you are having someone else to do it.

It's probably best to replace the front two at the same time. Same with the rear

Both will do what they are designed to do. from all I've seen and heard, it's a personal preference. I do agree that the mounting system could use a good upgrading. Even using the dash mounting plate, it still falls off from time to time.

I put a nail into a stud through the hole at the top of the frame. In that environment one bike on top, none on the bottom would be fine. Without that support I have more concerns about safety i.e; taking a bike of the top of a stand that is supported via balance only.

I only have one and It works properly but I think that you can install another one perfectly.

I might suggest getting two of them. The footage or trim goes fast. If thereis extra left I just it on the bottom of the trunk lid it looked great. Also I putit on the rear part of my hood closet to the front windshield acts as a niceaccent to the door and the overall vehicle itself. Hope that helped. Take care. Robert.

I thought I would need two but one is good enough for me. I think it depends on how well you understand your car. What I mean is that, if you can feel when your tires touch something, then go with one. Otherwise, play it safe with two.

It's not recommended but I use one on each side. There is a bracket that is placed on the side of the frame and you slide the holder into the bracket to lock it in place. Works great for me.
