Best electric tongue jack?
Time to replace the old power jack....what's the preferred brand nowadays? I currently have a 3500, but from what I've read, the bigger the better, so I'm open to getting a 4500. Thanks for the help...

I've seen this before and I wonder why. I lower the coupler onto the ball until I can latch it. Then hook the chains up with the little cheater bar that came with the hitch. Then lower the tongue and raise the jack.
One more advantage of air bags.....
Let air out completely, backup truck till ball is in place, press the 2 air up buttons and ball goes in....keep going to 100 psi and you dont even need the cheater bar if you have decent hands.
Then let the air back out to your towing spec/preference.
Got the Barker 3500 myself, only had to bang on it a few times as it seems maybe the brushes arent making good contact on occasion.
