Sidewind A-Frame Trailer Jack for 10,000 lb Trailer
Question:
I need a jack with less then 8” of clearance from A-frame flange to top of jack that can handle a 10,000 gvwr on trailer for tailgate clearance was looking at the ultimate trailer jack, that meets my clearance issues but I only have 2.5” of clearance from center of jack to nose of trailer so I would need a sidewind option similar to the top wind of the mentioned above. I’m also not sure if the 2k rating is enough for that trailer

Expert Reply:
There are A-frame jacks with the right weight capacity for your 10,000 lb trailer, but there are none that are sidewind cranks that have 8 inches or less of clearance so you can open your tailgate. The closest is the Pro Series Round, A-Frame Jack # PSRV20000103 which is 13 inches from the mounting bracket to the top of the jack, and that's the least amount of any A-frame sidewind jack.
This jack has a 2,000 lb lift capacity like the Ultimate Trailer Jack # 322-RDJ-2K you mentioned, and that is more than enough for a 10,000 lb GVWR trailer because the jacks only need to support the tongue weight of your trailer, which is 10% to 15% of its loaded weight.
I have added links to video reviews of both jacks for you to take a look at.
