Review on 30-Inch Scissor Jack By Lippert 285332 by Marquez Hinshaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good solid stabilizer, easy to install

I used this stabilizer jack to replace one I damaged (it wasn’t all the way up when I moved the trailer). The replacement was easy to install. It took about 45 minutes to complete because of the need to move JT Strongarm hardware from the old one to the new one. Actual installation was removing 3 screws and one bolt (each RV maker differs) and then reversing the process. Make life easier by lowering the old jack so it doesn’t fall when unscrewed and raise the new one to just touch when installing it. The 5,000 pound version has a top round mounting plate that is slightly flimsier than I would prefer. I might consider removal of all the stabilizers and braze a stiffer top mounting plate on, in order to reduce trailer shaking.

Pros
  • Liked it
Cons
  • The scissor mechanism may make a loud grinding noise when in use
