Default Jack-E-Up?

Has anyone tried one of these?
Jack-E-Up
We tow with a full size Chevy G20 van. I currently use an extension in our receiver in order for the rear door mounted spare tire to clear the tongue jack on the T139. I don't care for the extension as (I believe) it adds to the "porpoise-ing" effect we sometimes experience. It's added leverage on the hitch and it's noisy.
Being able to remove the jack while hitched could be an answer. Just not sure if it's gonna wobble too much in use.

Another neat idea but my tailgate will just clear the electric jack head by a fraction and the shaft comes up very close to the tongue so never had a scrape issue and been thru some pretty steep driveways.

Still a neat solution for those in need of such a set-up.

Had the Jack-E-Up for a few months now and a few trips. Comes in very handy for extra room to access the rear doors on our van while hitched up. Doesn't wobble when the jack is in place as long as I'm careful to get it straight an chock the tires well during un-hitching.

APD,

Thanks for the tip. I put mine on our 139x tonight. I too have been looking for a solution for the hatch hitting the jack.

I have an electric jack so I had to put plugs on the wires so I can remove everything.

This is well engineered and made.
Thanks.

Dale

That's good news Dale!

I wish I had thought of the thing...
