Note: For best results, the outer tube of your jack should measure at least 10" from the ground when your trailer is hitched. If the outer tube is less than 10" from the ground, then use a flip-up jack with a 4" extension (FA88-00-4500 - sold separately) instead.

Today on our enclosed trailer, we're going to be installing the Fastway Flip-Up Automatic Fold-Up Jack Foot for 2" jacks with a 6" extension and a 1,400 pound tongue weight capacity, part number FA88-00-6500. With the Fastway Automatic Fold-Up Jack Foot, this eliminates the need for blocks or hard to position jack foot extensions, by having a unique flip-up style jack foot. There's no pins or clips to secure, the 6" extension minimizes the amount of cracking required to position the jack. When retracting the jack, the foot automatically folds up into the closed position. The foot jack is made of a durable steel construction and comes with all necessary hardware to install. This jack will also fit a square tube, if that's the style jack you have. Now let's go ahead and show you how to install it on your trailer. We'll be installing the Fastway Automatic Fold-Up Jack Foot on a small enclosed trailer. Now we've gone ahead and measured, the outer diameter of our jack is 2-1/4 and the inner diameter tube is 2", so this is the correct jack for application. Now you'll notice that we have the jack supported by some jack stands.
You could hook it too your vehicle or set it on a set of jack stands, as you will need to retract the jack and need some way to support the front of the trailer. Next we'll go ahead and crank the jack all the way into the closed position, as we'll need to take a quick measurement. With the jack fully retracted, we need to make sure that there's no more than 2-1/4" sticking out from the inner tube from the outer tube. In our case, we're well under that distance. Now the way we're going to install it, is we'll put the block of wood underneath the jack. We'll then slide the fold-up jack foot in horizontally, pushing it up against the inner tube. Now you'll notice that there's a small hole here. This is actually a pilot hole that we'll be drilling a 3/16 drill bit through.
Once you have the foot positioned properly, we'll go ahead and put a little tension on the jack, just to hold the foot in place. With that done, we'll take our 3/16 drill bit and drill our hole into the inner tube on both sides, going through the pilot hole in the foot jack. Once we have our pilot hole on both sides, we'll go ahead and crank the jack back up and remove the fold-up jack foot for now, as well as the block of wood. We'll then need to take a 1/2" drill bit and open up the 3/16 hole to a half-inch hole on both sides. Once this is done, we want to make sure that we at least run the 1/2" drill bit all the way through, so that we contact both holes. If there's any burrs left after drilling, you'll need to take a small file and clean up the burrs. Next we're ready to install the fold-up jack foot onto our jack. We'll take the bolt that's supplied with the kit, as well as the 1/2" washer.
We'll slide the 1/2" washer under the bolt, and then the 3/8 washer and threaded nut will go on the other side. Since we're installing this on a round jack, we will need to use the round spacer washer and slide it onto the inner tube of the jack first. We'll then take the jack foot and line up the hole that we just drilled with the hole in the jack foot. We'll then take the bolt with the 1/2" washer already installed and push it through the holes, to come out the other side. We'll then take our 3/8 washer and slide it over the bolt, and then put the locknut in place. We can then tighten down the bolt. Once the bolt's tightened down, we want to make sure that the flip jack foot swings freely up and down. Once you have the bolt tightened down and you've made sure that the foot swings freely, that's all there is to the installation of the Fastway Flip-Up Automatic Fold-Up Jack Foot for 2" jacks with a 6" extension, part number FA88-00-6500.

Eliminate the need for blocks or hard-to-position jack foot extensions with this unique, flip-up jack foot. No pins or clips to secure. Foot wedges into place quickly and easily, and it automatically folds up beneath trailer frame when not in use.Arrived when promised, item was as described, and installation was easy with directions included, even for a challenged old man 284052
Although I have not put it in serious action yet, it seems to do the job nicely. Sturdily built and well designed. Be aware though that the installation is not a quick bolt-on affair. To do the job right requires cutting off a portion of the jack leg and drilling a serious 1/2" hole through the leg. Best to do it off the trailer if possible. And with decent tools: angle grinder with metal cutting disc, beefy drill or drill press. See the installations pdf on the web page. 60119
Second and third units just received. First unit is installed and is a time and labor saver 287353
I purchased a Flip Jack from etrailer years ago for a previous trailer I owned. So when I purchased my new trailer, I ordered another from and install it yesterday. The shipping was very quick and the communications with the etrailer personnel are great. It only took a few minutes to install. Etrailer is my Go-To place for trailer parts. *** Great service for sure!!! 456994
I am very pleased with the quality of the design, manufacturing, price and operation of the unit. I would highly recommend it. 398285
The jack was easy to install, just drill a couple of holes with a few sharp bits and bolt it up! The best part is that you've just eliminated one step from the hook-up and unhook process forever. No more misplaced wheel or jack foot either. One of the best things I've done to make life less of a hassle. Really recommend it. 341210
This gadget works great. Saves a couple of minutes twirling the crank. I really like etrailer.com for all the cool stuff on there. Easy to install also in my case. 456056
they are easy to install they have been working great it is nice no having to find a block of wood or take the block of wood with you if your going somewhere that you need to drop the trailer 320301
jim s - 12/11/2017Excellent accessory. Cutting your existing jack tube to proper length can be daunting, but I highly recommend this step. I used an exhaust pipe cutter, tough going. An HD saber saw would have been better. Your ball must be high enough to allow for the fold up action and the drop down action. You may need to adjust your ball up to get this operation correctly. Do not blame the jack foot. It needs clearance to swing down and fold up. 580063
I bought this as a gift. It looks great, but I will take the advice of some of your reviewers and drill a couple of holes and add a locking pin for added stability. 450956
Fairly easy to install with some decent tools. I used my reciprocating saw to trim 1/2" off of the jack tube per the instructions. That was the hardest part of the install. Once installed, it works as claimed, making the task of bringing the jack up and down quicker and easier without needing to use blocks. 283138
I received my order sooner than expected. Installation took about 10 minutes. It longer to gather the tools and put them away than to install. Jack stand extension works exactly as described. An earlier review had indicated that the stand could collapse if positioned on uneven ground. I found that if the installation instructions are followed and care is taken to make sure the stand positions properly it is not possible for the stand to fold. I am 100% satisfied with the product and etrailer. Thanks 353631
Great idea and well made. Works perfectly. However, I may need to go with the shorter (4") version FA88-00-4500. I did not anticipate a clearance issue with the frame of my trailer. Since my trailer is aluminum, the main frame rail sticks down too far. If I install this facing forward, there is not enough clearance, so I turned it around. I don't want it to contact the trailer hitch or interfere with the safety chains, so probably best to go with the shorter one. 565432
Product performed as advertised and worked well/as designed. I ultimately went with a 13" drop leg (e-trailer JF-1005H-Z) which provided me with greater lift height and more clearance than this component when fully raised. This is nice for the person that doesn't want to bend over and mess with clevis pins and is using it for recreational trailering.. I was looking for something a little more industrial for use on production trailers and felt the drop leg better met my needs (higher lift/max clearance/more industrial). 559006
Keith W - 08/28/2019Works excellent and saves a bunch of cranking. They were on backorder but worth the wait. 757075
Great idea. Saves hauling around a lot of extra blocks of wood, and makes set up a lot quicker. 667862
Works great. Sometimes I have to leave it un flipped or put a couple 2x6s under it, but I expect that due to the level of the space. 653546
