Flip jack foot on their power tongue jack?

Anybody using the flip jack foot on their power tongue jack?

[hawkeye-08]

Was thinking about getting one when our jack had a problem, so ordered a new jack with the robo foot on it.. works great.

I'm currently using an UltraFab 3502 tongue jack and the following is from their FAQ webpage ...

"CAN I USE THE FLIP-UP TYPE FOOTPAD WITH MY ULTRA-FAB ELECTRIC TONGUE JACK?

ULTRA-FAB DOES NOT RECOMMEND USING THE FLIP-UP TYPE FOOTPAD WITH OUR ELECTRIC TONGUE JACKS. INSTALLING THIS TYPE OF FOOTPAD REQUIRES THE JACK LEG TO BE ALTERED (NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY) AND CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE TONGUE JACK."

I have no idea what this means, don't really care anyway as I have a 6" wood stack I can use under the tongue jack but anyone considering one might want to first confirm what their own TJ manufacturer has to say about it. 😉

Just another way for them to void a warranty written in legaleze.

I altered the foot on mine and installed the flip foot and never looked back it works great!

Nope. But only because it's not needed - we have a Husky jack and the included foot has a long shaft with holes which allow it to extend by about 6". Without that, I'd have a flip-foot.

My new trailer has one. What can I say it works good.

Love my robofoot. Few occasions I had to take it off but most times it is a really nice addition.

The tongue of our new TT is very high and we had to use blocks. It was such a pain!
Jack foot thingy makes it so easy!

Another nice thing about it is that your existing jacks foot will fit the new swing jack perfectly. So if you need a little more height, you can use a taller foot.

Good info, thanks!
