Can't recommend a brand, but when you find one see if it will allow you to rotate either the head or the mounting flange 90degs, that way you can open your tailgate all the way without it hitting the electric jack.

I've never seen an electric jack that will swivel and just did a quick search and they are all solid mount near the front of the tongue. On etrailer.com there are a few swivel jacks that the handle comes off and you can operate it from a power drill.
