One motor, # BD1824200100, may be all you need. When using the electrical motor the lifting capacity is 7,500 pounds. This will move both the master and slave jack legs together. If you are frequently on uneven ground, having two jacks that work independently of each other may be the way to go. However, there is no easy way to wire them up to the same switch so they would have to have independent controls. My recommendation is to start with one, you may find that is all you need and you could always add another later.
