Tongue jack replacement

Ours is the UF 3500#. When it goes bad, I’ll probably go up.
I turned ours 90 degrees and the tailgate will go down depending on the angle between truck and camper. Sometimes it hits the little useless light.

I have a #3500 Ultrafab electric jack for my #650 tw trailer.. I had a UF #3000 one before and that lasted some 13 years.

I could never lower the tailgate on my truck with the electric jacks.. I don't remember if I could with the original crank jack, but that went away after the first year..

I was able to mount the 3500 sideways, so at least the tailgate does not hit on the metal part. It only hits on the plastic part now.

Good luck!

and see if you can get one that will allow the tailgate to open :(

My tongue weight (empty) is also 950#. If I were to replace the jack I'd go with the 4500# jack also. I have to lift the back end of the truck pretty high to ease the tension on the spring bars.

I vote no...2000 isn’t enough. I have a 3500 for about 850 pounds of weight.

Were I you, I would go with a 4500lb jack. Mine is 3500lb and more would be better. It gets in a strain a lot. My next one will be 4500lb

I do the same thing.
I got the biggest, strongest one out there.
