Most Popular Bolt-On for 2000 Ford Excursion

if I had to rate this upgrade in difficulty one being the easiest five being the hardest, it would be a one. Super simple. Take the nuts and bolts off your old hardware and install the upgrade in its place. I read some of the reviews were people were annoyed with the counter clockwise rotation and the bolt sticking out too far. I really didn’t see a problem with either. I know you’re not supposed to use a drill to extend and retract these but I always have. I suppose as long as you’re not torquing the heck out of the adjustment screw you shouldn’t have any problems. I always put a small flat 2 x 6 piece of wood under the foot of each one of these. It seems to add quite a bit of stability.

The jacks themselves have worked great, they keep the trailer level and solid during our concession events. I just had them mounted to the trailer so I don't have to put them in and out at each event. The jack handles leave a bit to be desired so I use a 20v drill w/ a 3/4" socket to run them up and down.

It installed very easy. For a 2500lbs jack, it seems a little light weight. It does lift the trailer but seems kinda wobbly because the post size is so small. Other than that it works as advertised. Thank you for getting it to me so fast.

I just installed my new JET-2500 trailer tongue jack in less than 15 minutes. The light and extend/retract work great. I was not sure if an adjustable drop foot is available for more length but do not think it is needed. This is second purchase, first being Equalizer hitch system which is also even better with electric jack. Etrailer exceeds customer expectations by follow up email and definite concern to keep their customers satisfied. Great Company! Thank-You Ron Williams

Fantastic heavy duty product and works great.

After receiving the packages was very severely damaged and there was no Jack.Stand crank and no nuts and bolts.Don't know what else I miss

Etrailer was great and shipping was fast. However the shipping was abusive to the packaging resulting in bent shaft on leading jack, which made it impossible to install gearbox for proper operation. Being mechanically inclined I could disassemble and straighten shaft hoping no stress fractures ending its life sooner than expected, or use shaft from previous jack. But why? I bought new parts for a reason.

Delivery was on time, but the box it arrived in didn’t fair we’ll and parts were hanging out of the box! But everything was accounted for and the parts were well wrapped. Installation was very easy. The only issue was the locking pins mount plate is tack welded to the primary leg that the motor moves up and down. Those mounting plates had to be removed to install the lead and follow jacks. A grinder made short work of that. I didn’t put the mounting plates back on, instead I used my spring loaded pins that were on the old legs, they were still in good working condition. Also I didn’t use the adjustable cross over rod that came in the package . I opted to use the one that was on my old jacks, it was constructed of heaven gauge tubing and didn’t have a much (slop) movement in it. Also did not use the plastic housing gear box, I purchased a aluminum house gear box from e-trailer a few months back and used that one keeping the plastic for a spare. Very satisfied.

My Jack arrived DOA. After installing it on my trailer, the Jack didn’t work. The manual crank handle came in handy because I didn’t have time to troubleshoot and repair it at the time. It was just a wire that was no longer connected to the switch but I have to tell you it was extremely disappointing to receive a brand new item that didn’t work. If it had worked out of the box, I’d give it a five star review. You should consider soldering and heat shrinking the wires to the switches or making the wires longer so they aren’t banjo string tight and putting the lug at a strange angle.

This particular jack fit my 2001 Horse trailer perfectly. I had it installed in about 2 hours due to clearances on this particular type of Tonge design. Otherwise with a couple box end wrenches and a hydraulic bottle jack this jack could be installed in 30 minutes. It appears to be a very good product for the money. Also, it has plenty of lift capacity. 8000 pounds which is perfect for my trailer.

I drilled two 3/8" holes in the top of the rail and used two stainless bolts to hold it on. Works very well for this application. It folds and holds the trailer for loading, and if I have to leave it somewhere, and don't want the tongue sitting on the ground. I used it on a Harbor Freight 4x4 trailer I am building to pull with my Can-Am Spyder. Love it!!!

I purchased this jack for my 2010 Escapade Elite trailer. I finally installed it yesterday. After a quick and minor modification, it fits great and funcltions like a charm. I highly recommend this product to other MC trailer owners. Thanks, etrailer.com for the quality and price!

Customer service from e-trailer has been top notch both times I purchased from them. I highly recommend this company for your travel trailer needs.

Works great for my teardrop

Order Thurs, delivered Sat 2 days ahead of schedule. Box in good condition. All parts present. Instructions clear. Replaced 3 yr old jack (locked up). Found lower price by $20 on Amazon, chose etrailer instead for the videos and hometown presales customer service people like Kimberly. Worth the extra. Can't always be about the green. Made sure to scrape paint of all surfaces as per instructions for the ground. Installed day of receipt and works great. Looking forward to the 1, 2 and 3 year hopefully positive reviews.

Put this jack on the trailer tongue in less than an hour. Moves the tongue of a 29' 6500 lb travel trailer up and down easily. I did not find it particularly slow. Install tips: I used a two ton bottle jack and static jack stand to support the tongue while working. Check trailer negative grounding with a voltage tester, just to be sure you get a good circuit. I attached power cord via fuse directly to positive battery terminal and stowed the extra wire/fuse in the battery box. (My trailer has a power line and blade-fuse from the trailer's junction box for the previous jack but it had an occasional short so I didn't use it. If your trailer has a dependable powerline for a jack, use it.) I'm putting a 10L dry-sack over the powerhead to keep out rain, road dirt and bugs. An extra layer of protection never hurts. I hope this holds up better than the factory installed L*****t. I'll write a follow up review in a year or so. And as always, thanks etrailer for great service, great prices, and fast shipping.

had to order to fit under my jack mount bike carrier. Glad I did. Product is a perfect fit. thank you etrailer for your super fast shipping and excellent customer service.

The powerhead is very large and extends forward, which has caused it to impact upon two different vehicles when backing the trailer. The power function is now useless, and I am using the manual crank to raise and lower the jack.

These are great jacks. I have 3 of them. The only reason I replace one was because I bent it. Let's not go there.

This jack was the perfect solution for my application. I have a new enclosed trailer that came with a manual crank and only a tiny battery to run the lights. I did not want the expense of having to buy and cable up a larger battery to just support the tongue jack. Took me 5 minutes to install this new jack using the three bolts that were already on my OEM jack. Now I just back up my truck, plug in the 7-way, and I'm able to move the tongue up and down as needed. Great!

I purchased this jack to replace my tired 10 year old camper jack . I ordered it at 10:00 AM Monday and as promised by Ian it was at my doorstep on Friday just in time for my weekend getaway . Installation was a breeze . I gave the product a 4 out of 5 for a few reasons . First , I was not able to see the manufacturer of the jack before receiving it . Which made name brand comparison pricing difficult . However I feel pricing was on target . Second , I feel that the jack should come with a battery terminal end connector and new mounting bolts with the hardware that was included . This didn’t pose any difficulty to me as I had hardware at hand but for some it will mean a trip or two to the hardware store . Third , once installed , at least with my truck and trailer , unless the truck and trailer are perfectly aligned and level the jack motor gets in the way of opening the tail gate . On first use I noticed it was much slower than my original but the strength made up for it . This jack had no difficulty or hesitation lifting my truck and trailer for load distribution and anti sway bar installation . I would recommend etrailer and this product . Time will be the final test of its durability .

Ok.... the customer service from ETRAILER totally saved the review! These guys are incredibly awesome. I ordered 2 of the jacks. The first came with a broken housing cover , the light had beed disloged, and the up down switch was wired backwards. (Up would put the jack down and down would put the jack up) Solution? Glad you asked! I contacted ram about the cover.... waiting! The light was easy to correct, just had to slide it back into the slit that holds it. Switch, well.... if-your2 not comfortable with wiring, I recommend not even attempt to rewire. I just popped it out of the cover, twisted 1/2 turn, popped it back in. Total time to correct.... 8-10 minutes. Total time to install, 15 minutes. Total job less than 30 minutes. Would I recommend this jack... YES. Despite a shipping issue to crack the housing ... its easy to install, price right, powerful. I dont have to hand crank. Simple correction to the switch. And they could use some r&d improvment on the light... but excellent jack! It does what i meeded it to at an affordable price!

After the initial installation there was a little confusion about setup I have been very happy with the way it works really simple push one button hit auto levels it's still working well thanks

Let me say this to start, this system is AWESOME!! If you do not have a leveling system on your camper, this one works very , very well. I will say, the install and the learning curve takes time and is not too hard, but it's not super easy either. Once I got the system in place, and understood how to use it, the rest was a piece of cake. Take your time on the install and get help. The parts are robust and heavy, so two people make it much easier. Have sharp drill bits to drill the attachment holes. Wiring is super simple, but take your time and make sure you get all the connections good and tight and secured well with zip ties. The system requires a good strong battery, so make sure your battery is in great shape and you will not have any issues. Get the Lippert app also, it is very helpful. I love it now, when I pull my 2006 Keystone Raptor 5th wheel toy hauler into a campsite, I hit a couple buttons and the longest it has taken to level my unit is 2 minutes and 30 seconds. I love it! It puts the camper at the same level every single time, which is awesome. No guessing, no driving up and down on blocks, just push a button and walk away until the camper is perfect. Would I do this over again you ask? Absolutely. Awesome system!

Work great and good backup to electrical Jack. Our electricals were not working but now are. Hopefully, they remain as backup as have to handcraft or additional support.

The jacks were well packaged and shipped out fast. I got these to replace tho ones on my camper and they bolted right up.

Great product. works just fine. The problem I had was matching the mounting plate under my trailer. Apparently not a standard so I had to take it to a trailer manufacturer to make it fit.

They went on a custom made trailer build that’s not yet in service. Seem to function as advertised.

The product is easy to install. It should be redesigned to allow more space between the trailer and the ground pad when in the travel position. There is interference between the pad and trailer that does not allow full locking in the travel slot. See pictures. A spacer for mounting would improve this feature.

I'm using the jacks to level the tailgate on my trailer so it can be used as a deck. They are easy to adjust for terrain variations

One small part was missing from my Ground Control TT. Carol Korren expedited delivery of the missing part and the UPS truck pulled up at the moment I needed the part. Fantastic customer service!

This works great and has been the very best upgrade on any RV/Trailer I have every owned. I will never own another trailer that does not have this.

I am very pleased with the Reese electric 5th wheel landing gear - 8000 pounds. Installation was a little difficult because the motor flange/mount was initially hitting one of the camper’s steel members. Using a side grinder, I was able to cut off the corner (maybe 1.5x1.0 inch cut) off the each motor mount, which I felt would not harm the integrity of the motor / landing gear in any way. The installation was then straight forward. I was able to use the original weld brackets, which made installation easier. The speed while extending is rated at 9 inches of lift per minute, and I would say that is about right (although I did not actually measure it). For the electrical panel, I wanted to fit in the same enclosure as the original panel, but it was too wide. So I took tin snips and trimmed approximately 0.5 inches from each side of the panel. The trimmed panel fit perfectly into the old enclosure…. see attached photo.

Jacks went in easy using the existing brackets from my single motor jacks. Just had to install a new switch panel ( since these are independently adjustable ) and run an additional power lead since these call for individual power and ground leads for each motor. They are 4 times faster than my original single motor jacks. These claim to raise 9 inches a minute and I believe that's about correct.

Works great as a stabilizer. I have a 38' trailer and I use screw jacks to level the trailer. Once the trailer is level I lower the stabilizer jacks to eliminate any movement. With this combination the trailer does not move one bit.

There's not a lot to say. The first Stabilizer carton was damaged to the point the carrier couldn't even find the Stabilizer. etrailer.com was very cooperative & sent a second unit out right away. Although the second shipment packaging was damaged all parts were there and undamaged. I installed the unit and it is so so much better, quieter and faster than the old unit. I highly recommend both Lippert and etrailer.com

I should have got one years ago. I only use it when it's connected to the truck with the engine running. This I believe gives me full power. It has enough power to raise the trailer when connected to the truck to get the anti sway bars attached. Sure beats all that hand cranking.

I was amazed at how quickly my replacement from etrailer arrived. I was a bit worried that the installation of my new jack would be more difficult that I expected. The reverse proved to be the case, it was very simple to place the trailer tongue on jack stands, remove the old jack and install the new one. As the old saying goes "even a cave man could do it."

Hello, Please see pics below of broken weld on jack. The jack was just installed and in use for about 7 days and noted the broken weld. Jack functions as described, however, we question the durability of the jack.

Definitely has the power I need however I can't open my tailgate when my camper is hooked up. 5 stars for power.
