Question:

My question for you is if this Lippert model is a direct replacement for the LCI I currently have. This jack is used on a travel trailer. Thank you for your help.

The center-to-center measurement between the bolt holes on the Lippert Power Jack you referenced, part # AT81070 is the industry standard 3 inches. Since you said that is the measurement you have on your LCI jack you want to replace, this would be a perfect replacement for you. Lippert and LCI are the same company.

I think the best value for an A-frame tongue jack is the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR which is rated for 4500 pounds of tongue weight. This is 1000 pounds more than other models, and even though you may not need this much capacity, you will find that the jack motor runs quick and effortlessly. This will add years to its life. This jack also has a unique clutch that prevents damage from overextending or retracting the jack foot - the most common reason for jack failure. I also like that is has a generous 23" lift, including a time-saving drop-foot. It includes LED lights for operating the hitch in the dark, and a built-in bullseye leveling bubble.
