Fastway FLIP 88-00-6500 Trailer Jack Foot Plate - Quick Fold-Up

Our review of the Fastway FLIP 88-00-6500 finds it best suited for trailer owners who want a fast, tool-free way to increase jack contact and reduce cranking. The bottom line: this fold-up jack foot gives a six inch extension that saves many handle turns, flips up automatically when the jack is retracted for neat storage, and replaces the need to hunt for wood blocks, making routine trailer hookup and leveling noticeably quicker and safer.

Key Features

• Automatic flip-up: The foot flips up as the jack is retracted, so storage is clean and there is no manual folding to worry about.
• 6in extension: Adds six inches of height so you avoid dozens of extra crank turns when raising or lowering the jack.
• Increased contact area: The larger footprint provides more stability and distributes tongue load better than a bare jack foot.
• No wood blocks needed: Eliminates the time and effort of searching for and storing blocks under the jack foot.
• Fast installation: Installs in seconds using the existing jack hole for most applications without tools, drilling, or measuring.
• High tongue capacity: Supports a 1,400 lb maximum tongue weight to suit many bumper-pull trailers.

Who It's For

The Fastway FLIP is ideal for owners of bumper-pull trailers - including RVs, horse trailers, cargo trailers, ATVs, and flat beds - who want to simplify hitching and improve stability without carrying spare blocks of wood. It especially benefits those who frequently hook and unhook a trailer and want to cut down on time and effort at each stop.

It may be unnecessary for users of electric or low-clearance jacks who already have integrated stabilizing plates or for trailers with very low tongue weights below typical needs; in those cases a different style of adapter or a permanently mounted plate could be a better fit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quick, tool-free installation that fits most bumper-pull jacks and removes easily.
• Six inch extension reduces crank effort by eliminating roughly 48 turns in many setups.
• Large footprint increases stability and removes the need for wood blocks.
• Automatic flip-up action keeps the foot out of the way during storage and transport.

Cons

• Limited to jacks with a compatible hole and a 2 1/4 in outer jack tube with 2 in inner tube sizing; may not fit all specialized jacks.
• Not a replacement for heavy-duty permanent stabilizers on very large trailers with very high tongue weights.
