Power jack help.

Finally decided to upgrade to a power jack after years of cranking. I'm looking at an Ultra-Fab 3502 which offers 3,500 pounds of tongue lifting power. I have 2 questions:
1st I use Equalizer leveling bars. Is 3,500lbs enough to lift TV & TT enough to get bars off?
2nd I have an Outback 21RS. What is the diameter of the crank shaft tube? This power jack model states it has a 2" outer tube. Will this fit/work on my Outback?
Thanks

I have a passport 2810BH and use a 3500 to lift my truck and TT to put my equalizer bars on. Have not had a problem.

Can't say I've ever seen an electric Jack not fit in the hole.

I use a 3,500 lb jack on my 30 RKS with no issues.

If I was buying a new jack, I'd go wireless. Between that and a good backup camera, hooking up alone would be a breeze.

Is Husky the only one that makes a remote version?

I'm pretty sure the dealer bent my electric jack when I had it in. There's a section of it that runs really slow.
