The Bulldog Velocity series jack, # BD185400, would give you the least problems because of its use of a ball-bearing design and not regular screw and nut like other jacks. The result is less friction, less wear and tear, and faster operation. This jack is sold as a single jack only so you would have to get 2 of them and the control box to control the 2 jacks is sold separately as # BD500379.

The next best thing would be a Lippert set such as # LC333964. Lippert makes the majority of landing gear found on trailers and replacement parts are readily available making them a solid option as well.

I have linked a video of the Bulldog jack for you. It may cost more but it really is a fantastic system. I recently saw it in action and it is quite a bit quicker than traditional landing gear.
