I just don't see how tapping "2 holes in the top of jack tube" allows rotating the head. :h

It depends on what brand of tongue jack he has. It is very simple with the Atwood jack and some others.

I'd like to follow up on this as it's a subject I'm really interested in ... unfortunately the OP won't return and clarify with pics, which only leads me to believe that's not what he's actually done. Rotating an entire jack is easy but how would one drill additional holes and rotate just the head? - I'm ready to be convinced but I'd like to see pics. ;)

With the first UltraFab I owned which was a 3002 I did rotate just the head by removing the four head bolts, rotating the head 180 degrees, then reinstalling the head bolts. Last year when I wanted to replace the LCI tongue jack that came with our Coachmen I chose another UltraFab, this time a 3502, with the plan to rotate the head just as I had before so it would better clear my Avalanche's tailgate. It turned out the head design had changed in the interim (confirmed in an email from UltraFab) so although it would technically still be possible to rotate the head one would have to completely disassemble it in order to do so. I decided that was more involved than I wanted to get with this project and because the new tongue jack came with additional holes in the mounting plate I just rotated the entire jack 90 degrees and mounted it that way.

Annoying as heck when someone makes a claim but doesn't support that claim in any way with links or pics and then never comes back to clarify just what they meant. :M
