Tubing Diameter of Pro Series Round A-Frame Jack PS1400600303
Question:
Does this jack, Reese 1400600303 Pro Series A-Frame Jack, have a standard 2inch lower tube that will accommodate a 2 inchinch 1 3/4inch OD leg? The jack on my Forest River PUP is sub-standard...with a roughly 1 5/8inch OD lower leg. Its flimsy as well...bending quite a bit under sideinch loads especially scary when attempting to unhitch on fore-and-aft slopes. My jack has a caster wheel essentially useless and I use a wheel dock from Camco, and I use wheel chocks, but theres still a lot of movement, and under more extreme circumstances...say a 3 to 4 slope...it can be scary to be between the truck and PUP when the coupler finally comes off the ball. I need a stronger jack, and I want to use a leg to accommodate uneven terrain...and get away from the ridiculous slop from the caster. This jack seems perfect. I particularly like the handle compared to the suicide knobinch style handles on other brands, BUT, I have not seen a diameter for the lower tube in any of the technical specifications. ONE MORE QUESTION: I presume my current jack is a 2000 pound capacity jack at best. Given the 5000 pound rating on the Pro Series, is it slowerinch than a typical 2000 pound jack? Will I need more cranks to get the same lift? Thanks.

It is always best to use a jack (or winch, for that matter) that is rated for more weight than you're actually going to put on it. This typically allows such products to work more reliably and to also last longer.
The Pro Series 5K a-frame jack you referenced, part # PS1400600303, has a 2-inch diameter inner jack tube and an outer jack tube with a diameter of 2-1/4-inches, as noted in the specs.
Since this jack does NOT include a caster wheel or a foot plate, you can select along with it either wheel # PS1400750340 (which drops the jack rating to 1200-lbs) or foot plate # PS1400700340 which does NOT reduce the jack capacity.
I contacted Pro Series for the cranking rate on this jack; I was advised that each inch of lift will require 8 rotations of the hand crank.
