Jack crank hits front rack.

T@b Outback,  on first use discovered leveling jack crank hits front aluminum rack to prevent deploying them with the crank.

Just a word from one who is in possession of very little useful knowledge.  You refer to "leveling jack". I think you are referring to the stabilizers that should not be used for leveling. Sorry. Had to say it.

I stand corrected.  Thanks.

BTW, went to local trailer supply and bought a longer crank.  Got home and it didn't fit the jack!  They didn't ask about size and I had no idea there were different sizes on the screws that opperate the jacks.  Here I go again, 50 mile round trip...

Check out RZRBUS' s post. He made his own in a very low tech way.

I have the same issue. I read that you can get a 'socket' to put in your electric drill that will do the trick.

I took the standard crank supplied with the T@B, hacksawed it in half, found a steel tube with ID the sames as the crank shaft OD and had it welded together at a muffler installation shop for $10. That made it long enough to reach the rear jacks without getting on your knees and crawling under the trailer.

I like innovative ideas (and people) that make tasks easier, well done and thanks for sharing!  Excellent solution and I know that others have shared similar fixes for the stabilizers on the T@B units.

Before we left the Dealer I had them call Little Guy and they agreed  to make and send us a longer crank. We'll see.

It is really easy to just cut it off and use a drill. zipp zipp. My neighbors were green with stablizer envy.

I use a cordless drill, too.

Think I'll get a spare for hand cranking when the drill battery goes dead.

     Check out Jack-up.  Video on advertisement.  It removes after hooked to TV.  I. Love it and it prevents Handel from nitty tail gate.  About $65.00 on Amazon.

DeputyDog - You talking about the Jack-E-Up?
If so, I love mine too. Great little product. Especially if you have a swinging tailgate on your TV
