Totally bummed with Electric Jack
We researched and looked at so many jacks and then settled on what looked like the best one for the money, a Ram. It looked really nice but then we slid it into position and there is no way we can ope...

A longer drawbar will work, but will lokely cost close to what a new jack will, and I am not sure I would recommend it for a SUV, which likely has a short wheelbase. It could possible have a negative impact on the towing experience.
In theory your concern might have merit re the longer drawbar, but IMO the very small increase in the distance from the rear axle with a longer drawbar that is less than 6" longer should not have a noticeable impact on overall stability. If it does then I would think you are already too close on the edge of the stability curve so to speak with the existing drawbar and the overall stability of the TT/TV combo to start with. We've not talking increasing the pivot point by feet, but probably less than 10 to 15% as a WAG. Maybe I'm all wet and don't know what I'm talking about, but that's my gut take on this.

I still have it, but gave it up for tow duty long ago. It needed all the help it could get in the stability dept.
I know nothing about the OPs TT or hitch, and little about the TV, other that it's a SUV.
YMMV
