You'll be hard pressed to find an electric jack, using typical clearance distances involved, to allow for your tailgate to fold completely down.
The head on my LCI power tongue jack that came stock with my Coachmen Freedom Express was so large it prevented me from lowering my truck's tailgate fully and without drilling additional holes in the base plate it couldn't be rotated. I replaced it with an UltraFab 3502 because I'd owned one before and knew the head was about as small as they get and the base plate does have additional holes so the jack can be rotated. Unlike most other power tongue jacks the UltraFab is also all metal construction. Forum pundits would diss the UltraFab but it works well for me and does solve the tailgate clearance issue. :B
