I have a solution but unfortunately we do not currently have a replacement available based off of the serial number provided.

For a great replacement the Electric Jack w/ Footplate part # EJ-3520-BBX would work and work well. It had 25 1/8" of lift and the 3500# capacity of your Lippert Jack. Check out the linked video I did on the jack it has a good quality and reliable feel to it.
