When I ordered the Husky 82022 I was concerned about the clearance between the jack head and the tank cover. When I removed the Baker jack I noticed Airstream had installed one star washer on the front hole which angled the jack head back slightly closer to the tank cover. So I installed two star washers on the back holes angling the Husky jack slightly forward. The clearance is good now. The Husky silver color goes great with the aluminum.

It seems to me that the original tongue jack went belly up due to the OP trying to raise the trailer and truck off the ground to put boards under the rear tires of the truck. I don't believe tongue jacks are made for this kind of weight.

It wasn't the jack's fault I tried to lift more than 3,500# with no wheel chocks on place.
The weight of the trailer rolled back against it and bent the jack post.
I am paying $339 stupid tax on that one.
I ordered the same jack to keep the original like new appearance of my trailer.
I could have ordered a black Atwood I guess. That is what Airstream is using now.
