I don't have a clue how much motorized jacks weigh. I do know that my hand-crank, Happy Jax are about 40 pounds ea. I have the longer bezel model used with 4WD's, especially the Dodge which has the highest bed elevation of the big three. I do know that jack weight is a non-issue with me as the jax are only bolted on when removing the TC from the truck, and not used on the road. The price paid is the manually, or with a H.D. drill driver, cranking the jax up. My bro finally removed his electric jax from his Outfitter, which required cutting the wire power leads going to ea. jack and soldering on slick plug leads for re-attaching. He really whacked his jax on several off-road outings. A bent jack is done. I only have to install the TC maybe 3 times a year and the TC stays on for months at a time now. When I need the pickup, the box comes off.
Of course, everyone knows I'm "King of the Jacks-Off". YMMV.
