Optimize Your Towing Experience With The FLIP™ Jack Foot

Category Towing Tips

Hitching and unhitching a trailer is one of the most repetitive parts of towing. For most owners, it also involves one of the most inefficient routines in the entire process: cranking the trailer jack to its full extension, hunting for rocks or wood blocks to stack underneath, and repeating the cycle in reverse at the end of every trip.

The Fastway® FLIP™ Jack Foot eliminates that routine entirely. By automatically dropping into place as the jack extends, it adds instant drop length to the jack, removes the need for stacked blocks, and saves up to 48 cranks every time the trailer is hitched or unhitched.

The Problem With a Standard Trailer Jack

A standard trailer jack has a fixed range of travel. Once it reaches the end of that range, the only way to lift the trailer further is to add height beneath the foot. Most owners do this by stacking wood blocks, scavenging rocks at the campsite, or carrying a separate jack extension that has to be installed and removed every trip.

Each method comes with a downside. Wood blocks split, rot, and get left behind. Rocks are uneven and unreliable. Removable extensions require additional storage and add another step to every hookup. None of them solve the underlying inefficiency, which is the dozens of unnecessary cranks required to close the gap between the jack and the ground. The FLIP™ Jack Foot addresses the problem at its source.

How the FLIP™ Jack Foot Works

The FLIP™ Jack Foot is a permanently bolted extension that mounts directly to the trailer jack. Its automatic drop technology allows the foot to fall into position the moment the jack is lowered and tuck neatly back under the trailer when the jack is raised. There are no manual adjustments, no separate parts to deploy, and nothing to remove between trips. The result is a faster, cleaner hookup every time. Owners save up to 48 cranks in each direction, reduce arm fatigue, and eliminate the need to crawl on gravel searching for makeshift blocks.

Key Features

Automatic Drop Technology. The FLIP™ deploys downward as the jack is lowered and folds up automatically when the jack retracts. No manual handling required.

Permanent, Bolt-On Design. Once installed, the FLIP™ stays attached to the jack and is always ready for use. There are no loose components to forget, lose, or store.

Wider, More Stable Base. The footplate measures 6″ wide by 4-1/2″ long, providing twice the contact surface of a standard jack foot for improved stability on soft or uneven ground.

Universal Fit Options. Available in 4″ and 6″ extension models, both compatible with square or round jacks featuring 2-1/4″ outer tubing. The 6″ model is recommended when the jack’s outer tube sits at least 10″ from the ground while hitched. The 4″ model is suited for trailers with lower clearance.

Built for the Long Haul. Constructed from heavy-duty steel with a corrosion-resistant zinc finish, the FLIP™ is engineered to withstand road grit, moisture, and years of regular use.

Fast Installation. Installation typically takes about five minutes and requires only a drill and a wrench.

Designed and Engineered in the USA. Built by towing experts with 80 years of combined experience delivering quality towing solutions.
