Shortest Height Trailer Jack Above Mounting Bracket

Question

Question:

Hello, I’m having some clearance issue with the tailgate of my truck and the a frame jack on one of my trailers. From the a frame mount to the handle measure a little over 12”. I saw on a previous post on here that the bulldog pn BD155032 measures at 11.5” to the handle. Is this still the current lowest profile jack that you carry? I believe this will work for my situation, but I’m also open to any other suggestions to save my tailgate. Thanks,

For your 1999 Jayco Glacier Heritage trailer, I recommend the A-Frame Trailer Jack - Sidewind - 1,000 lbs. by Dutton-Lainson #DL22530. This is the only jack we have that has that 2 inch outer diameter upper tube. For a foot you'd want the part…

I have a solution for you, but we do not carry Glo-Brite lights, so replacing it with the same brand will not be something I can offer you. Instead, to replace your Glo-Brite 9852-88, I recommend using the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light #STL72RB.…
