Can I Turn my PowerJack to Clear My Rear Lift Gate on my 2018 Nissan Pathfinder

Question:

With my Trailer hooked up with a Distribution Hitch, I cannot get my power liftgate to clear the head of the powerjack Pathfinder and small RV I know I could likely get a longer Shank, but I am worried about the extra stress on the hitch as it is already at the max 600# tongue weight. Is there any way to reversing the jack 90 or 180 degrees losing the light usability so the rear liftgate can open? I currently have to raise the whole rig way up like to hook up the round bar dist. bars in order to get it to open Jay

Your jack part # LC285318 can be turned to get your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder's rear lift gate open. The holes in the jack and on your trailer should be slotted, so turning the jack is straight forward and the holes should line up. If the holes don't line up, you can drill a hole in your trailer to position the jack in the best orientation for you.
