Does this setup look familiar Then you need to ditch the wood blocks and do things the fast way. With the flip automatic fold-up jack you don't have to do anything other than raise or lower your jack; it takes care of the rest. You can see as we raise the jack it's going to tuck up nicely underneath our trailer. As you can see, it's locked into place. You can feel secure with it going down the road. Our foot stays tucked up on its own. When you reach your destination, no blocks of wood; you just lower your jack. It's going to lower into place and provide you that lift you need. It provides an extra lift so you don't have to spend that strenuous time trying to get your jack down. It comes with a 6" by 4 1/2" foot plate already installed. No pins or clips needed. It's a permanent installation. It's made out of a sturdy steel construction. It'll work on square or round jacks with a 2 1/4" tube. Now that we've gone over the features I'll go ahead and show you how to get it installed. I've got my trailer here set up on some jack stands. First thing you want to do is retract your jack all the way up as far as you can go. We need to be sure that we have under 2 1/4" of our jack sticking out, so I'll grab my tape measure here. It's sticking out of the sleeve here about 1 1/4", so we're good. If you have any more than 2 1/4", you have to cut it. The reason for that is if we have too much it will not fold up correctly. What you need for this job is a block of wood big enough to where the foot can hang off the edge like so. When we get it positioned we want to make sure that it's parallel with our trailer, straight back. We're going to scoot all the way up and we're going to lower the jack down to this portion here. What we're trying to do is we're trying to get it lined up with our pilot holes here. That's what we're going to be drilling through. We've got it in there. Want to make sure that it's all the way this way as far as it'll go up to this plate here. We want to check to make sure that it's still parallel with our trailer. We want to lower our jack down just to put weight on it. That way it doesn't move. When you do all this you will, of course, want to make sure that your trailer is level. That way when you drill out your pilot holes it'll be going straight through. To drill out our pilot hole we'll need a 3/16 drill bit. Let's go ahead and get started. We're just going to drill one side and then move to the other side. Now with our pilot holes drilled out, let's go ahead and retract our jack. We need to retract it just enough to where we can get our flip jack out. We're going to drill right through there with a 1/2" drill bit. With our 1/2" drill bit installed, let's go ahead and drill out our pilot holes. If you run into a position where there are lots of burs, you can just ream it out. If you don't have a reamer, then you can just use a file. Cool. Now let's do the same thing for the other side. With both sides drilled out and cleaned up, let's go ahead and grab our flip-up jack and our hardware. If we we're working with a square jack we would not use the spacer ring, but since we're working with a round we're going to go ahead and put that ring on, followed by our flip-up jack. We'll line up the holes. Once we get the holes lined up, we'll grab our bolt. We're going to put on a flat washer, put that through, followed by another flat washer, and then the nut. Now let's tighten it down securely. I'm using a 3/4" wrench and socket wrench. What we want to do is we want to tighten it all the way down and then loosen it just enough to where we can get full movement in the flip-up jack. We can see we've just got it a little too tight there. We'll just back it off a little bit, and then we should have it. Once we've got it snug enough to where it can still move freely and all
