Tongue Jack replacement.
I need to replace my electric tongue jack. My question is....are the mounting holes on all tongue jacks the same? I see there are plenty of different sizes and diameters. But if the mounting holes are...

Can't you just unbolt the current power jack and turn the whole assembly 90 degrees? Would save getting a new jack.

Another tip - if you're towing with a truck and find the clearance between the tailgate and the tongue jack head insufficient to allow the tailgate to lower fully purchase a tongue jack on which the head itself can be rotated a full 180 degrees. That often will create just enough clearance so the tailgate can fully lower. One example where this worked well for me was the UltraFab 3502 Tongue Jack I installed on our KZ Spree - in it's normal configuration the head interfered with my Silverado's tailgate but by removing four head screws and rotating the head 180 degrees I had plenty of room to lower the tailgate. The LCI tongue jack I have on my current trailer annoyingly interferes with the tailgate on my Avalanche but it's head cannot be rotated ... it's a real PITA and I'm thinking I may replace it with another UltraFab. :B
