But when I need to replace either it will for sure be a ball screw jack, not an acme thread.
In my case how the motor mounts is a non issue since neither design interferes with either the tailgate or the propane tanks. But I know others who do have interference problems with the front mount motor jacks interfering with the tailgate. So check carefully first.

The Barker allows you to loosen 3 set screws and turn the head sideways, thus allowing the tailgate to fully lower.
I just replaced the junk power tongue jack that came on my trailer with a Barker Deluxe High Power 3500 Ball screw jack Part #27452. I was easily able to turn the head to the side. The jack is relatively quiet and operates very smoothly.

Depending on what your goal is you could. Only the Husky is all metal construction and as far as I can tell none of them have additional holes in the base plate to allow rotating the jack so it might better clear a truck tailgate, in which case I'd want to know if the head itself on any of them could be rotated. The devil is in the details. ๐

I have the Bulldog and am happy. The Husky mentioned above is a good choice also. You really can't go wrong with any of the 3 mentioned.

Abused & neglected my Barker for 13 years and it just begged for more.
Now have Atwood and the noise it makes is horrific. Doesn't sound like it will last.
