Power Tongue Jack - 195RB

[Boooker]

So I am thinking about a power jack for my b'day. I need it to lift the back of the Tow vehicle to set the wd bars.

is 3250 or 3500 lbs lift enough or do I need more?

TV is a Ford Flex if that matters.

Thanks in advance.

Either of those will be more than enough. Our ORV has a 3500lb capacity tongue jack and has no trouble lifting ~1200lb tongue weight plus rear end of the F-250 to ease the hitching.

I bought a Barker 3500 tongue jack for my 24ft. trailer. It will lift the back of my 2500 Dodge.

Don't you have a bar to lift the bars?

I recently got a Husky Super Brute 5000 and it lifts the back of my f350 to get the bars on easy. The factory one was the junk FIC 3500 and that could lift the old f250 when new (it did not last long). You should be fine with a flex and a 3500 jack. The only reason I went to the 5000 is for the remote control that came with it.

I have a cheapo knockoff 3,500 and it will lift my rear end. I am very lazy and even though my Andersen is one of the easiest I still run it up and down a lot.

Two things to remember, never try to run any of them past the top or bottom which can ruin the gears and make sure you have a separate inline fused line direct to the battery. I also have a direct ground. I marked mine with tape just before top and bottom as a reminder.

On past trailers I have had poor grounds through the bolts holding onto the tongue.

Don't forget spare fuses for everything!

( Does anyone remember where I put the emergency manual crank????)

All of the above mentioned are good, and I'll add one more to look at, while you're shopping. I've installed a Bulldog 4000 on our TT.
