Has anyone ever had the misfortune need to use the such as the "Kwik Lift Trailer Jack" from overton.
I now have said trailer jack which I got from Overton and would like to know if it is user friendly or is it a piece of JUNK.
Yes, I now, I should have ask the question before getting one, you live and learn from your own mistakes.

That reminds me. I forgot I do not have one. Not even a lug wrench for the trailer. Been rollin the dice. Gotta fix that.
Does anyone use the Extreme trailers built in version. Any opinions?

I have not used the above versions, but a buddy and me were towing a 42' Cigarette and lost a wheel bearing near the Arizona New Mexico border. We tryed to use a "12 ton" bottle jack and it exploded. 12 tons my a$$!!! I wonder about ome of the ratings on other jacks after that experience.:rolleyes:

I use a couple of 4X4 blocks of wood and a 2X4 block of wood for a ramp to go under the good tire on the same side. It works fine and it's inexpensive too. :D
