Best Way To Gain Tailgate Clearance With Electric Trailer Jack
Updated 10/05/2020 | Published 10/01/2020 >
Question:
Can you remove the four sockethead screws and rotate the motor assembly 180 degrees to get more clearance to allow lowering the tailgate?

Expert Reply:
There are other ways to help gain tailgate clearance, but disassembling the electric jack # 3370093500 is not the solution. I would recommend getting the 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount w/ Stainless Steel Balls For 2" Hitches # LTB6-2 because it has a 6" Drop, 7" Rise and is rated for 12.5K lbs. This will help you get your tailgate down on your 2016 Ram 1500 so you don't have to worry about denting it.
