My original hand-crank tongue jack has a 2" tube (it's a B.A.L.) but keep in mind that I have a 2012 X23B so no guarantees that yours is the same size. I replaced it with an Atwood 2500# electric and it's been great. I went a little over kill on the jack because I planned to use it to raise the TV when setting the hitch spring bars and wanted to make sure it would have the "umph".
A note of caution with the Atwood. Its motor tower is a little tall and the fore bunk "almost" touches it when out, about 0.5" clearance. Differences between model years and maybe manufacturing differences may cause your mileage to vary. Also, I can no longer open the rear hatch while we're hitched.
That will be an awsome Christmas gift that you will enjoy every outing!

The OD on the lift tube on mine (2012 X23B) is 2 1/8”. So I would say the outer tube would be 2 ¼”.

So...... As I am also looking at a power lift jack as well, does anyone know what the dimension is on the B.A.L.? I also have a 2013 X23B. If you find out what the OD of the lift tube is, let me know.
BTW, I noticed the CW power jack only has a 1 year warranty compared to the Atwoods' 2 year warranty.

Jpetrey and others who own a 2013 X23B, I just received an e-mail from Jayco CS. They say the dimensions of the tongue jack we have has an OD of 2 1/4". They also recommended a 3500 lb. power jack from Lippert Components, part number #0213776.
Hope this helps!

UPDATE:
After reading some reviews, it looks like I'll be looking at another brand, like a Barker power tongue jack.

A friend of mine with a trailer like mine got a 2500lb version and had to take it back and exchange for the 3500lb version. Just wasn't big enough to suit him. Never had one so don't know why a 3500lb version would be better than a 2500lb version.
I know my OFF-ROAD POPUP has the front deck on it so I would probably need a 3500lbs version jack. Its neat watching the guys walk around with the handheld control setting them up...

Hey Roy.... I think you need the extra "OOMPH!"...... to be able to lift both the TT and the TV up high enough to get the sway bars on.
