Hi Paul, welcome back! I recommend the etrailer Electric Trailer Jack # e55ZV. It has the 5,000 lb capacity you're looking for, and the jack can be mounted with the head turned to the side to provide additional clearance for your truck's tailgate. It won't be a true 90º because of the A-frame mounting pattern but it will be enough to get out of the way for your tailgate.

If you absolutely need a true 90º mounting position, the Phoenix Electric Trailer Jack # UF38-944040 can be mounted that way, but it has a lower 4,000 lb capacity.

What kind of truck do you have and what are you towing?

The jack clears the tailgate with the weight transfer hitch set up I have.
