Fastway FLIP Trailer Tongue Fold-Up Jack Foot Plate - Quick Stabilizer

In this review the Fastway FLIP 88-00-4500 is evaluated as a simple, time-saving upgrade for owners of bumper-pull trailers that use a 2 1/4' jack with a 2' inner tube. The bottom line: the FLIP is for tow vehicle owners who want faster setup and more stability without hauling blocks of wood. The standout reason to buy is the automatic fold-up foot that extends about 4' for extra clearance and flips up for compact storage, making daily hookup and parking noticeably easier.

Key Features

• Automatic fold-up foot: The foot FLIPs up as the jack is retracted so storage is neat and you do not need to wrestle with a separate plate.
• 4' extension: Adds four inches of lift to reduce the number of cranks needed to position the jack and speed hookup.
• Increased contact area: Provides roughly twice the contact surface of a standard foot for better stability on grass, gravel, and packed surfaces.
• High tongue weight capacity: Rated for up to 1,600 lbs of tongue weight, offering a trustworthy support margin for most bumper-pull trailers.
• Tool-free installation: Installs quickly using the existing jack hole in most applications, so setup is extremely fast and simple.
• Removable for low clearance: Can be easily removed when tighter ground clearance is required, giving practical flexibility.

Who It's For

The FLIP is best for RV owners, horse and cargo trailer users, and weekend ATV or utility trailer owners who frequently hitch and unhitch and want to cut setup time. Its simplicity appeals to people who prefer straightforward, low-maintenance accessories that increase safety and reduce reliance on improvised solutions like wood blocks.

Those with jack systems that are not 2 1/4' outer tube with a 2' inner tube, or trailers requiring different mounting methods, should check compatibility first. If you rarely tow and never need extra contact area, a standard fixed foot may be sufficient.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Folds up automatically for tidy storage and less chance of damage to the foot while traveling.
• Extends the jack by 4' to reduce cranking and speed trailer leveling.
• Large contact surface increases stability on soft or uneven ground compared with a typical jack foot.
• Very fast, mostly tool-free installation using the existing jack hole.

Cons

• Designed for 2 1/4' jacks with a 2' inner tube, so it is not universal across all jack sizes.
• The folding mechanism adds moving parts that require occasional inspection for wear or debris.
