Electric A-frame jacks.. Husky or Bulldog???
Looking at 4000 to 4500 lb jacks for my 20 foot TT. Need to be able to lift the Yukon also for weight distribution bars. Any opinion as to which one (Husky or Bulldog)is better? Any feedback on reliab...

My 20-foot trailer came with a 4000-lb Bulldog jack. One time I retracted the jack to its top limit and an internal gear broke and the jack was beyond repair. As an engineer myself, I would never release a design that can destroy itself in routine use.
I replaced it with a 4500-lb Husky jack, which has been installed for several years now.
As I recall, I did nothing to the mounting holes and the jacks were interchangeable.
I think the Bulldog had a 22-inch travel over the Husky's 18-inch travel, but I have never missed the extra 4 inches. I usually use a 4-inch wooden jack pad anyway.
