Can Just the Head of the Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX be Rotated
Question:
Is there a way to rotate the jack so the tailgate from truck will open all the way. Right now with a 2018 Jayco Jay Flight 265 RLS the tailgate from my 2010 F 150 will not open. Tried pivoting it 120degress but one hole will not line up just 2. Can the head be rotated alone?? Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
Unfortunately the head of the Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX cannot be rotated by itself. You will need to rotate the whole assembly like you tried and then drill a new hole to mount it properly.
You also could potentially use an extra long ball mount like part # BH20 to gain the clearance needed. This fits a 2" hitch receiver and is 13-1/4" long.
