My solution to the problem of the stabilizer leg. I replaced the existing shock absorber with two shock absorbers in series. This should enable the shock absorber sustain the load. I also added a mechanism for packing and unpacking the stabilizer leg. This mechanism is spring assisted, even though the CAD file might not show it. Minimal edits were made to the existing designs (mainly holes an slots), however new parts were added (note that these parts should be cheap to manufacture)....and so on..
