Most Popular Sidewind Jack for 2017 GMC Sierra 3500

This was a replacement jack for a flat bed trailer. Installed it and it was just like the old one. Very happy with the jack, I recommend it highly.

Heavy duty, well-built jack. I decided to upgrade my trailer jack for poor performance and after searching the net I came across a video from etrailer describing the features of the Bulldog Square Jack # BD182804. It has every feature you need and some. With the upgrade, I must mention there was welding involved. I first confirmed there was structural support where the jack was to be mounted. I disassembled the jack per the video, located and welded the housing in place, reassembled the jack and lubed with the same grease I use for my trailer axles. It was that easy.

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.

The leg pin came out because of the design, it is not a strong locking mechanism to not pull it all the way out. (My wife pulled it all the way out) Afyer furthet inspection, in addition to poor locking mechanism, the size of the pin is not adequate for the specified weight of the jack.

Perfect replacement, works great, excellent shipping time and service. Just wish I had got the electric motor that goes with the legs.

Ordered this from etrailer instead of other sites as I knew the shipping would be faster. Sure enough I got the item in 4 days on Thursday and Installed it on Sunday. Very quick and easy. Took longer to get all my tools and set up items together than the actual work. The item was a exact fit with installation being feeding the legs through the holes in the floor down from the inside and installing the 4 clamping bolts to hold them in, the gear box on the lead leg and the cross bar and motor. Now it purrs like a kitten when activated instead of clanking and creaking and blowing fuses. Actual install time was probably 1.5 hours taking my time and injecting extra grease into the gears and lead screw. These replacement units have a grease fitting for both which is great and should allow them to last forever! Being a safety freak I used a 3 ton jack with a 4X6 placed long ways to catch the I beams under the trailer then placed 3 ton car jacks under the frame also and for extra safety backed my truck bed under the tongue for extra security while I worked. The price was crazy great, the fit was excellent and the shipping was fast as usual. less money in parts and 2 hours of work probably easily saved me a grand over taking it to a RV repair shop! Thanks etrailer. Saved me again!

The product itself was great. It fit right in to the brackets from our old landing gear. We were able to use our existing motor as a cross fit with this gear. The gear box was even better than Lipperts as it was not plastic. The only issue we had with this was shipping. We ordered the part same day as our water pump because we were told it was in stock. Low and behold they changed ship date numerous times, with the excuse it was not easy to pick. Anyhow, two weeks later we finally got the part we ordered.

I have a 2000 komfort 26FS. It has original landing gear that was made by Atwood.Parts to repair are apparently no longer available. Did alot of research and this kit seemed to be a good replacement. It is a exact replacement. Took some time to get it installed as my 5th wheel has a wall and frame right next to landing gear. Original motor bolted up with replacement of original screws which were half inch to short. Four days to get delivered to Oregon. I would have given a five star review but I was missing square tubing that runs from gear box to other leg. Tubing is clearly pictured in discription photos.

Great directions for manual assembly, quality metal and parts. Solid and exactly the heavy duty I was looking for to use with my slide in truck camper.

The Brophy jacks were strong, stable, easy to position, and easy to lift and lower my camper. it is a much better method than having four jacks to maneuver. And it cut down my time to 30 minutes total to load my camper instead of an hour and a half! I have to start from my garage and winch my camper down on a cart to the street face because of the incline driveway is so dramatic and my camper won’t fit in my garage if it is attached to the truck. I couldn’t be more happy they were great and now I have my truck loaded with my very modern camper and I’m enjoying quite the holiday! I’m using the 3 ton 67 inch trophy jacks and I’m lifting an 800 pound gross camper. The stability is outstanding.
