Question:

I have a 2001 Ford F350 crew cab 4x4 LWB pickup pulling a 4 horse aluminum goose neck horse trailer with a full living quarter. I am 60 years old and 5'3". can you tell me the best power jack for my horse trailer and truck? I cannot crank it up and down by myself. Thank you,

Expert Reply:

In order to equip your horse trailer with a powered jack, I would start off by determining if you can add a powered kit to your current landing gear. These kits, like the Bulldog Powered-Drive Kit, # BD1824200100, are brand and model/capacity specific so I would need to know what landing gear is currently on your trailer in order to see if we have a kit available.

My next recommendation would be to take a look at the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set, # UF17-943010. This is a dual system with each jack operating independently for accurate leveling and has a combined weight capacity of 12,000 pounds. In order to install this set you will need to remove the existing landing gear and weld on the mounting hangers. Use of existing hangers is acceptable if located properly and switches can be mounted anywhere on the trailer for easy access. I have attached the full set of installation instructions for you.
