Tongue Jack Up do Down

Scissor Jack Problems

On my 2013 Jay Flight 22FB, two of the scissor jacks are terribly difficult to crank down or up. The other two move easily.

Buy Where??

But, I find the only dealers listed are Discount Tire, and none of them within 150 miles have my size in stock.

Trailer being Towed with Ford F-150 Ecoboost?
