I have just installed he RAM EJ-3520 and discovered that the manual emergency handle does not clear the propane tanks when cranking. Is there a substitute handle with a lengthier height for this model jack?

To use the manual jack crank part # EJ-3520-HD on your etrailer powered jack part # EJ-3520-BBX if the jack is close to the propane tanks you'd need to make half turns with the crank to get around the interference. So turn the crank till it would hit the tanks and then pull it out and install it 180 degrees so that you can make the turns needed. Aside from that there really isn't a way to get a taller crank.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
