Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, you can mount the Ultimate Trailer Jack part # 322-RDJ-2K so that the release pin faces outward instead of towards the trailer. All you need to do is rotate the jack until the mounting holes line up and the pin is pointed away from the trailer. This should in turn give you the clearance you are looking for.

If you would like to add a foot pad to this jack then you can use part # JF-101BK which is a direct fit.

You can rotate the whole trailer jack, such as #LC285318 or another A-frame mount jack, by unbolting it from the trailer, turning it, and bolting it back on. You would not be able to rotate just the head by itself.
