Assume you are talking about the Fastway Flip Foot:

Fastway Flip Automatic Jack Foot

When I had my bumper pull, I used it. Great idea, most times I could do away with blocks under the jack, never had to worry about losing it and it was always there when I needed it.


My 2 cents, your mileage may vary...

Looks kind of expensive way to replace a block of wood but I guess the convenience of not needing to bend over is worth something.

Yep, I use it. Works pretty good and gives me enough lift to get the TT off of my E350 without having to carry the home made extended tube foot.

I LOVE mine. Bending isn't simple for me, and it just works great. No more blocks to carry is nice as well.

I've got one too and it has come in handy several times.. I've needed to basically drop the tongue into the dirt once to level the camper and it was a piece of cake. I've also had to go the other way with the front really high and that worked fine too. I think I added about four inches of blocks to get it level.

It also works out nicely at any RV dealership. Instead of them dropping it onto the pavement minus a 4" block that I needed to get the trailer on my truck, they always leave the thing extended and I don't have any issues.
