Yes, George James has one on his Overlander, and I think his son, 
also George James, may also have one on his.

Those who use a standard hitch might consider the BAL "Tongue 
Twister", which is a receiver for the bottom of the jack, mounted on 
a base with a jackscrew.  You can move the tongue back and forth 
(with a wrench, provided) about 10", for those last minute fine 
adjustments.  I bought mine from Hensley,

 but Camping World has them, I think.
