^Hi Brett. The install was last May (post 86). I've taken my trailer on two trips, about 4800 miles on paved roads, and about 300 miles off-road. I don't expect paint to last forever, especially black paint unless it's like the Linex my trailer is coated with.

As said, you've got a great product, and that trailer I mentioned at Expo East, the jockey wheel on it was no match. The owner was eyeing mine and said he mentioned it to the builder. (I don't recall the trailer's brand... It wasn't a Hiker, but similar.)

Brett,
I bought my black series may 2019 equipped with your 750 extreme. used the jack on my side around 3 times and guess what, the shaft screw with a flat metal that slides up and down the round tube split into several pieces and in the process leaned to one side of the tube that cause the gears to separate and disengage and collapsed the jack with the trailer that almost took out my legs out. The truth is , the part that broke apart is the central part that holds the weight of the trailer that it is attached to. it is the weakest part of the assembly where the failed part in question should have been the strongest point in the jack. This jack is unsafe and should be taken off the market. Anyone that have this jack should not completely trust the product. If proof is needed, I have pictures.

I picked up the XO750 and am really happy with the product. I didn't realize the wheel hubs were metal with sealed bearings. I'm going to fab something like some others did to mount it instead of the clamp brackets and long bolts.

I'm interested in the drop down corner steadies shown on Ark's web site. Can you give me retracted dimensions, weight and different views so I can see if this will work for my application?

Hey Brett, what are the dimensions of the frame mounting plate? I am trying to see if it will fit where I need it to go. Thanks!

got mine XO750 its a brute for sure...mounted it on my AT Chaser, not a lot of room with the box and all.

I got it on...might need some adjustment, I notice it's not perfectly straight up and down, and I suspect it should be

I did not install it on to the straight part of the tongue because there was barely enough room, instead, I put it on the angled part where the nose box sits.

Is there a right or wrong place to install these? It seems to work fine where I have it?
