Ranger RT 188 Jack Stand is ,,,,,,,,,,Junk !

[rocket man]

I gotcha now. Thanks

Well I used a black phenolic panel and spaced it out from the frame so the wheel did not hit the trailer. It turns super easy now. Thought that phenolic panel looked good with black trailer and it will be durable.

Great solution! I have the same jack.. I ended up using the smaller wheel from the original.
Your idea is much better. How thick is the panel you used?? I'm going to copy

Its 1 inch. I routed all the edges also.

Thanks ��

Yes , that panel is a nice idea . I'm using the XLT jack with the factory wheel also . It's a good jack that works real well .

Anybody tried the Fulton adapter plate F500320 with the F2 Jack to replace a Fulton XP Jack with the weld on mount ? I have a EZ loader trailer with the flimsy and difficult to roll/turn Fulton XP jack. I would like to upgrade to the F2 F1413100334

I ordered the Fulton Item# F1413140334 for the 4x5 mounting plate and it was a bigger piece of crap than the OEM jack. I returned it for a refund. It was also a lot more expensive than the XLT.

Did you go back with the XLT jack ?

This is what I did. The XLT jack works great and was only like 81.00 on Amazon. Panama did the same and I think he is happy with his.

Agreed it looks great and appears to be fully functional

I like the black spacer nice work

[papafrancisco]

Is anyone using an alternative to phenolic for the spacer? If so was it store bought and where please? thanx

Get one with an 8" wheel!!!!

I just ordered this one for my ATV trailer yesterday. Comes with an 8 inch wheel and it has very good reviews, and as much cheaper than anything else I found

I learned this, this jack won't work on the aluminum ranger trailers, it is too long. The trailer gets wide where the tongue is bolted to the trailer frame and you would have to space it out at least 2 inches. Can't send it back because I tried to mount . I won't make that mistake twice!!

Well, I installed the jack today on my RT188 trailer. I installed the jack so that the top points toward the boat when in the up position. It will install the other way, but the wheel slightly rubs the trailer even when the tube is adjusted all of the way up on the bracket.

Comparison old to new

Installed

In up position

So what mods?
