Does the Fulton XLT Jack have more vertical travel than the standard Fulton side jack? I need a little more travel to pop off of the ball on my truck without using a wood block.

Actually I think its less. The one on my PIV doesnt seem to travel as far as the old plain one on my Sabre did. But its a lot more sturdy!13 PIV w/ 200 MercIG: WarriorRiverCustomRods

Is your ball/hitch that much higher? I have the XLT and can clear my ball hitch by at least 3″ or more.

That was my old truck which sat at 20″ (with about 16 inches clearance below). My new truck is lifted and the top of the ball is @ 21″. I had an extremely high pitch driveway and needed the height to clear the dip. I could get the ball free with the jack only but it was close and fully extended (which was not very sturdy, jack would bend a little while rolling). I was hoping the new XLT jack had a little more travel and would be more sturdy at the extended heights. I like the higher ride of the tongue but could correct the issue with a larger ball drop.

Can BCB check the travel on the XLT jack to see if it has more or less travel than the standard one?

IS the XLT jack at least capable of the same travel as the standard Fulton jack? I can pop the ball off in my new garage (2″ raised lip garage front) but the standard jack struggles to be sturdy.
