Has anyone shortened their retractable tongue jack, or disassembled one so I could see if it’s possible.
I will be removing the hydraulic system and mounted a channeled lunette ring to the front, lowering the ring several inches. My goal is be able to open the back gate on my Jeep, at least part way.
I mocked everything up today and it doesn’t look as though there will be enough clearance for the tongue jack to rotate down fully.
I know some have replaced with aftermarket jacks, but I am a big fan of the oem version and changing it would be a last resort.
Has anyone shortened it before or taken it apart so i could see if it possible. Thanks.![IMG_5991.png IMG_5991.png](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/672/672347-50261b3911e9b08dc4a57f32999e0d34.jpg)
