Power Leveling Jacks
I am looking to upgrade my current scissor jacks to independent power leveling jacks.
Any Recommendation on MFG? I have looked at UltraFab but the review on Amazon are not that good.

Thanks

Check out this kit, it's a lot cheaper than buying new jacks.

You will probably void any kind of frame warranty you may have with leveling jacks. Personally, I level side to side with the Andersen wedges and use the drill bit attachment to lower the stabilizers.

If you are "cheap" like me , just use a cordless drill.

Are looking for a simple powered jack system or a true to life leveling system?? If you looking for just power scissor jacks won't cost you more than $500. But a really true leveling system is at least 4 times that amount, if you want a good reliable one.
Please verify which one you are looking for, thanks.

The correct term would be powered stabilizers. That is what the OP referred to with the link. They don't level your trailer, they just move up and down with power and should never be used to level your trailer or take the load off of your axles - only to stabilize motion.
I suggest you get an adapter for a cordless drill instead.

If you read OP's product description link, the product claims to both level and stabilize.

We have them on our 5er at the back and they state they are not designed to lift your trailer (ie. truly level it). They basically take the sag out of your butt end and stabilize.

Scott, look at his link. It stabilizes and LIFTS the Rv. Doesn't impress me. The 1 review tells the story. They are not the same as stock stabilizers.

Yeah, but even most scissor jacks make the same claim. If you only need two inches you are good to go!! I agree, I would avoid the product for anything other than stabilization.
