One last question. I've read alot of people have trouble with these electric jacks getting in the way of the lift gate. So am I better off with one that is straight up or one that is off to the side, or, does it not matter?
IMO fla-gypsy summed it up best - "Quite frankly as long as it raises and lowers the trailer without effort it is a good jack. Just pick one." I'd only add (as I already did earlier in this thread ;) ) that having the option to rotate head can be a real advantage in some cases. If it turns out you don't need to, no loss, but if you do now (or could in the future) own a TV on which the tailgate may not fully lower because the TJ head is in the way you'll be really glad you bought one with a head that can be rotated. The LCI tongue jack that came with my Freedom Express does not rotate and it's a real PITA to not be able to fully lower my Avalanche's tailgate.
