Rusted and busted in my review

Got these thinking they would be an upgrade to the factory stabilizers, which are probably also Lippert as they have the same labels. At first I was impressed. They were definitely thicker and heavier. That impression was short lived. On the first weekend outing after install, they rusted! The pivot rivet, the screw and the nut. 30 days after install, on our 4th outing, one of them failed. As I was raising the jack I felt a pop and the jack opened all the way to the ground. The washer that is…

Pros
  • Easy to install and use.
Cons
  • The handle may be uncomfortable to grip during use

Great for replacement

These didn't have the same bolt pattern as the originals, but are a different brand. To me it wasn't a big deal drilling two new holes. Only took about 45 minutes to replace all four.

Pros
  • Same as original equipment
Cons
  • The scissor jack may be prone to rust and corrosion over time

Get the drill chuck

I bought these for the 30' trailer but am building a shed and used one to lift a 20'x12' wall by myself. The drill attachment is awesome. Going to put them under the trailer next

Pros
  • These are great quality. They were alot more stout than the stock ones and they operate smoother.
Cons
  • The scissor Jack may be prone to getting stuck in the raised position

first time bent! in my review

These of course aren't meant to level anything, they are merely stabilization jacks but you can't even sturdy the RV with them because they are made so thin. first time i tried to use the new jack the trailer slipped off the blocks on one side and the "stabilizing jack" folded up like a pretzel that should not happen if they were made the way they should have been.

Pros
  • Just what I needed.
Cons
  • The scissor jack may not be as precise as other types of jacks when raising a vehicle to a specific height

Nice replacement jack, more weight capacity

Overall a good quality, sturdy Lippert jack. I grounded out on the prior one (RV on a hill).Only issue was one of the 2 bolts did not line up properly in the holes, so that was fun to get alignment and tightened at the same time. Not a star impact though, but could be for the non - DIY'r!

Pros
  • Heavy duty. Work perfectly.
Cons
  • The jack may require regular maintenance to keep it in good working order

A world of difference between the stock jacks and these.

I have a 2020 Forest river trailer with stock scissor jacks. The jacks that came with the trailer are not smooth at all and seem to stick a lot. One finally broke just after the warranty was up so I replaced both front jacks with the Lippert. The Lippert jacks are so smooth and seem slightly sturdier. I'm very impressed considering the price for two. I'll be replacing the rear jacks with the same. Very happy compared with the stock jacks.

Pros
  • This worked so great we are going to get 3 more to replace the other 3 original jacks.
Cons
  • The handle of the jack may be difficult to turn or strip over time

Perfect replacement stabilizer jack

This was a perfect replacement for one of our stabilizer jacks on our trailer that had become bent. It was easy to install and works perfectly.

Pros
  • Works well
Cons
  • The jack may not be suitable for use on uneven or soft surfaces

Came used. Parts missing.

The item looks used and there were no instructions in the box. The bag for the bolts looked like it had been ripped open and the bolts were all over the place. There were only 3 bolts and I think there should be 4 since there are 4 holes.Also, the "supplied handle” to use for the Jack was missing. It says that if I don’t use the supplied handle, which is missing, it would void the warranty. It looks like it was already used and in turn, the warranty is already voided. I will return this item.

Pros
  • The handle was missing.
Cons
  • The jack may not come with instructions or a manual, making it difficult for beginners to use

Such a great upgrade!

Replaced the Jacks that came on our RV with these. The mounting holes lined up perfectly. It prob took me an hour to do all four. We used them a few times already and they work perfectly

Pros
  • So much better then the old ones. A lot more sturdy then the original one's. And was a snap to install.
Cons
  • The scissor mechanism may be prone to wear and tear over time

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…

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

Special project jack

This Jack wasn’t purchased for a travel trailer but to be used for a special project to move a floating dock, gave an adjustable height for the dock mover, worked very well.

Pros
  • Works great once fittes
Cons
  • The jack may be difficult to store due to its size

Improvement over factory stabilizer

These are more solid then the jack that came with my camper. I bent the first one, no fault of the manufacturer. I would have appreciated the corresponding nuts. I can't complete the job without a trip to the hardware store.

Pros
  • Fast delivery and great product.Fit my trailer exactly as it supposed to.
Cons
  • The weight capacity of the jack may not be enough for heavier vehicles

Great value! for my opinion

Super easy to install. Honestly I wanted the $438.00 electric ones but settled for these and am super happy. They are simple, solid and a great value.

Pros
  • Works great as a replacement for the original jack
Cons
  • The scissor jack may be more difficult to use in cold weather conditions

Fit on my 2017 Forest River Wolf Pup Trailer

This manual jack fit well on my 2017 Forest River Wolf Pup camper trailer, matching the other jacks. I had to drill 2 holes to make it fit as intended on my trailer, but it was really no big deal. I highly recommend this jack to add to a trailer or as a replacement.

Pros
  • They were easy for me to install. Seem very sturdy. No problems yet. Good value.
Cons
  • The overall size of the jack may make it difficult to store in a small car trunk

Easy to install in my review

Good product easy to install it fit in the old hole location. Stronger than the ones that came with the pull trailer Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • fine
Cons
  • The jack may not be suitable for use on vehicles with integrated lifting points

Good deal all around

Product price was on point, free shipping with Prime, jack seemed even more solid than what was being replaced. That's my review.

Pros
  • Very nice. easy to install. really like it
Cons
  • The weight of the jack may be too heavy for some individuals to carry
