How to Determine the Lift Capacity You Need in a Jack
A trailer jack is designed to lift the tongue of your trailer so you can connect the trailer coupler to your hitch ball. To do this, you'll need a jack with a lift capacity high enough to handle your trailer's tongue weight.
Tongue weight is the amount of weight that your trailer applies to the back of your tow vehicle. Typically, your tongue weight should be 10-15% of your total trailer weight (trailer + cargo). In other words, a 10,000-lb trailer would have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. For a trailer this size, you would need a jack with a lift capacity of at least 1,500 lbs.
It's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher lift capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Trailer and Camper Jack Lift
Every jack offers a certain amount of lift or travel. Screw travel is the distance the jack extends when you crank it (or toggle it to "extend" on an electric model). Some jacks include a drop leg for extra adjustability. On these jacks, you'll see the maximum extension of the drop leg listed in the specs as well. Adding the screw travel and drop leg travel together will give you the total lift. The total lift listed above can help you determine how high this jack will be able to raise your trailer.

Easy installation, reasonable price, works great! Much to my surprise, our trailer had a 2.25" top hole and a 2" bottom hole. This jack fit fine. The lights are helpful.
by: Steve08/27/2023
I recieved the jack in a timely fashion and the box was destroyed (packing wasn't good) and was a bit worried but it didn't have a scratch on it and was very easy to install. Bolted right up!I really am happy with it and I would recommend it and etrailer!!
by: Russell05/29/2022
Nice jack . Fit up on travel trailer was good did have to take 3/16 off the back of round mounting plate so it would not hit the battery box I did check with Ultra-fab and they got back to me the same day ,wanted to make sure this would not effect warranty . well built and quality was very good . So much better then my old jack .
by: John W09/15/2016
The three items we ordered arrived on time. The electric jack was easy to install, 3 bolts and 1 wire. Took less then an hour. It makes hitching and unhitching our Keystone Hideout much easier.
Customer service was very helpful when we called to add a third item to our order.
No Hassle!

Great work! Had a customer with a tight time line that Alex made certain of a timely delivery.
by: Doug W08/03/2017
Easy install in 5 minutes, works great, excellent customer service, fast service and shipping. No more hand cranking for me.
by: Jimmy G.07/07/2016
The fit was flawless and it handles my Flagstaff Mac with ease. It is a pop-up and not a huge load, but it saves a 70 yr. old a lot of cranking. Install was a breeze. Love it when items are as described. 6 day delivery over a holiday long week-end. Thanks for the great service.
by: Chris 06/20/2023
Lift came super quick from etrailer. Very easy to install since replacing older model of the same lift. Ultra-Fab should include wire and fuse needed for the positive wire -had to reuse old fuse!
by: Charles05/19/2022
Easy ordering, good tech support. Fast shipping. 30 minute install. Works great. Would recommend this item.

Working very good. Have only used it about 6 times so far. Great product.
by: Biscuit Sims05/10/2021
Easy to install. I also replaced bolts with grade 8 bolts.
Ultra fab is a good product.
by: David02/18/2019
etrailer had the best price. Shipped to me in a few days. Took about 1 hour to convert from the 4th bad liepert smart jack. Works fast and easy. As I read on other reviews it is "wobbly" side to side compared to the old jack but rating are equal.
Put on my enclosed ATC car trailer. Have not yet loaded the car - I think that should only be done when "hooked up". Check with me in a few months after I have used it a bunch.

by: Johnny C.04/01/2015
The Ultra-Fab power jack is great so far. This was a direct replacement for the stock original jack. Easy to install. This one has a fuse in-line as the original jack did not. I like that feature.

Well I guess its been a year since purchasing the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack as per the email I received from etrailer. I have been very happy with the purchase, this is so much better than cranking a handle!! Installation was very easy too. I liked this one since it has a zerk fitting for lubing the jack where others didn't seem to have that. All in all, I would purchase this jack again and through etrailer.com too.
by: Carl J. N.Y.06/22/2014
Unit was out of stock but I was willing to wait. Well it was delivered a lot sooner than I thought and was kept updated about delivery date.(no guessing). The jack installed easily and works as expected. I am very satisfied with the service and the product. Thank you etrailer!

still going strong!
by: Paul D.01/07/2014
The product was easy to install. I put the trailer on my truck hitch before I started. No need for impact tool to loosen the bolts on the manual jack. Your jack fit fine, even cleared the propane bottle cover, although I have to sqeeze a little to get to the light switch. My trailer is a 30' Keystone Hornet with slideout. Your jack sounded like it was working hard, but it kept raising. It's the 3500 lb model, and I didn't measure the tongue weight before I started. However, it was right at freezing outside, and my battery isn't new, but all went well. Plenty of travel, and I like the removeable foot. All in all, I'm a Happy Camper.
by: David C06/10/2014
Used the electric jack this past weekend. Really like it, glad we got it. Very easy to install. Will recommend this product to anyone wanting a easier way to hook up your TT.

Bought this one year ago and it died already. It is not one that I would recommend. We had to hand crank on several occasions. We bought something different and threw this one away. As for Etrailer, great company.

Worked as advertised. Easy installatio n.
by: Mike L.12/21/2016
Great product, was easy to install and wire up. Very durable, grease tip location on the tube very convenient. Cons ( would like to see a foot extension for the tube and a more durable cover for the grease tip, other than that its a thumps up for this product.

easy to install and one wire to connect. works great so far on my Pace American V-nose enclosed trailer with a couple snowmobiles on board

Very good, recently sold this trailer
by: Wayne Bullock08/28/2017
Great jack - haven't hooked up the electronics, but it's been great. The little rubber cover over the manual jack nut drive cracked, but I assume that is because I keep using it repeatedly (more than it was designed for). I wish it had a zerk fitting or two on the jack tube, just to keep it from seizing up in the future.
by: Gary G.03/30/2015
I drove 150 miles to a rv dealer to buy a electric tonge jack that they wanted over $350 for and bought this one from e trailer for a lot less then $200 and this one is a 3500# and the one at the rv place was 3000#,and the same brand,this a great place to get all your trailer and towing needs,i check prices of a lot of different items and e trailer beat everyone for the things I was looking at,i will be ordering a lot more.thankyou.
by: JimM09/05/2018
Low price but high quality. Works faster than most Jack's out there. My only concern is the length of the shaft. I need to use a 6 inch block under it. Works great. I now have 2 of them. One on my enclosed cargo trailer and one on my 26 ft travel trailer. Highly recommend. It
by: chuck f.03/17/2016
Just what I expected from an Ultra-Fab product. I have bought this same jack for another application and was pleased with it and the same with this one.
This application I had to drill all the holes needed as the trailer did not have tongue jack. It was a simple drill with all the different hole combination on the jacks mounting pad. Works and looks great!!!
by: Scott m02/09/2015
Easy installation.everthing works as should totally happy with purchase.makes hooking up my trailer alot easier.

- Trailer Jack Recommendation that Doesnt Break When Over Retracted or ExtendedThe circuit breaker of the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 is designed to prevent the motor from drawing too much amperage and damaging itself. If you were to lower the jack all the way and then keep holding the button you eventually would trip the breaker, but more importantly you would potentially damage the threads of the internal screw of the jack which would permanently break it. I would not advise you rely on the breaker to or the threads bottoming out to let you know...
view full answer... - Retracted Height of Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack JET-3555Based on a review of our manufacturer specs the shortest retracted length among the electric a-frame jacks we offer comes from the 3500-lb-rated Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555. Since it can happen that a manufacturer may alter product dimensions slightly between production runs, I went to our warehouse and measured one of these jacks myself so that I could be absolutely certain of the retracted length dimension of the # JET-3555. When the inner tube is fully retracted...

- Recommended Heavier Duty Upgrade For FIC 3500 Electric A-Frame Trailer JackElectric A-frame trailer jacks often have the same bolt pattern, yes. Just keep in mind that a higher-capacity jack doesn't necessarily mean more speed, it's all about the jack itself. For example, the 3,500 lb Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 extends 6" in 25.3 seconds (with 1,000 lbs of tongue weight), while the 4,000 lb Bulldog Trailer Jack # BD500200 extends 6" in 28.5 seconds (with 1,000 lbs of tongue weight). That said, since you mentioned wanting a heavier-duty jack,...
view full answer... - How to Wire the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack Part # UF38-944017For starters, I recommend running both the power and ground wires of the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack part # UF38-944017 directly to the battery and not the junction box. By running the jack to the junction box this creates another connection point that could cause issues later down the road. In regards to fuse placement, it will need to be placed 6" from the positive terminal on the battery regardless if you are using a junction box or not.
view full answer... - Replacement Light And Toggle Switch For Ultra-Fab Electric Jack.If your jack is an Ultra-Fab 3500 Series jack, then unfortunately the jack light is not a replacement part available. However, the replacement Toggle ON/OFF Motor Switch, part # UF38-75-1037 is designed for Ultra-Fab # UF38-944014, # UF38-944016, and # UF38-944017 jacks.
view full answer... - Replacement Shear Pin for Ultra-Fab Ultra 3502 Powered Tongue JackPowered trailer jacks allow use of a manual crank for emergency purposes (like a power loss) and some can be used with a drill attachment and a cordless drill. But an impact wrench puts too much stress into the mechanism and this type of tool should not be used on a jack. We do offer a replacement shear pin # UF38-751025 that fit jack model Ultra 3502 for serial numbers up to 010150 (which were made before 2010). My tech contact at Ultra-Fab thinks the self re-setting circuit breaker...

- Electric Tongue Jack Recommendation for A-Frame Trailer with 2-1/4 Inch Mounting HoleTo answer your question, no, you do not have to use a jack with an outer tube dimension of 2-1/4 inches. An electric jack like the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, # UF38-944017, with a 2 inch outer tube diameter can be mounted on your travel trailer even though the jack mounting hole is 2-1/4 inches in diameter. When it comes to installing the jack, the mounting flange was designed with slotted bolt holes to allow for installation on an a-frame trailer with a 2 inch or 2-1/4 inch opening....
view full answer... - Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack With Outer Tube Diameter of 2 InchesThere is an option for an electric A-frame trailer jack that with an outer tube diameter of 2 inches, though the jack you mentioned has an outer tube diameter of 2-1/4 inches. For an electric A-frame trailer jack that has an outer tube of 2 inches and an inner tube of 1-3/4 inches you would need to go with a jack from Ultra-Fab: - Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 - Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack with 7-Way Plug # UF38-944037 Both of these are 3,500 lb jacks that will work...

The motor itself is probably okay. We do offer a range of repair/replacement parts for this jack. I have linked a diagram showing an exploded view along with a parts listing. In some cases the jack may not be repairable, depending on the exact damage to it. You can inspect the gearing components in your...

- Can an Ultra-Fab Electric Trailer Jack that has Been Over Extended be RepairedThe way that the electric trailer jack # UF38-944017 works is using an ACME screw and a nut. The nut is fixed and the screw goes up and down in the nut. At the end of the screw the metal is twisted, smashed, or otherwise purposely cross threaded to prevent the screw from just coming out and the load dropping. If you try to raise a jack with this type of design too far it damages that nut and the screw. Those parts cannot be replaced. You will need to replace the whole jack. This is not...

I recommend double checking that you have the switch on the off position, and if you do you will need to remove the toggle switch on the back to check for any loose wires or corrosion causing it to not turn off. I included a video of the # UF38-944017 for...

- Replacement Jack for Lippert Electric Tongue Jack LG-181794For a Lippert jack model 181794 a replacement manual crank nut is not available. I checked with my contact at Lippert to confirm. You will need to replace your jack with a complete new one, I am sorry to say. To help you select a new one I have linked an article on jacks as well as our main page for such items. For an electric tongue jack with the same 3500-lb weight rating and the same 18-inch lift as yours I suggest the Ultra-Fab # UF38-944017.
view full answer... - Ram 3,500 Lb Power Tongue Jack Will Not RetractThere could be a few different issues with your electric trailer jack. The most common issue we see is a bad ground so be sure to sand down the surface that the jack is grounded to and then use new hardware when reinstalling. If this does not work then you will want to lower the jack manually to make sure none of the internal components are damaged. If all is good with the ground and internal components then you will need to test power going to and from the extend/retract switch as well...
view full answer... - A-Frame Jack for Camper With Low HeightThe dimensions that are important for an A-frame jack are the retracted height and extended height, which tells you what the travel is. It's pretty simple, but the different terms can be confusing. Travel is just the extended height minus the retracted height, and these heights are measured from the bottom of the mounting point to the bottom of the foot. For example, for your low 17 inch measurement from the top of the A-frame to the ground I recommend the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack...

You can apply enough grease with two pumps from a standard grease gun. To grease the gears, you will need to first remove the fuse from the fuse holder. Next, remove the gear cover via 4 phillips screws to expose the gears. Then, grease the gears using chassis lube and reinstall the cover....
view full answer... - Electric Jack Recommendation For 30 ft 2013 Forest River TrailerThe Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, part # UF38-944017 you referenced would certainly work for your trailer based on the tongue weight you furnished. This jack does have a weight capacity of 3500 lbs, and has an 18 inch lift. it can be bolted on or welded to the trailer, and hardware is not included. Another option I recommend is the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack, part # JET-2500. It has a weight capacity of 2500 lbs, which is still well within the range you need for...

This jack extends 6" in 25.3 seconds at 1,000lbs of tongue weight, to give you a bit of a speed reference. At max weight your trailer would at most have 450lbs of tongue weight.

The tow vehicle 7-way's 12V feed is designed to provide a "trickle charge" to maintain a charged trailer battery while you're driving but not to charge a depleted battery or to operate a device like a powered tongue jack. That 12V feed is fine for operating trailer lights but not for a current-hungry motor....
view full answer... - Recommendation for Tongue Jack on Travel Trailer with 780 LB Tongue WeightI recommend going with the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, # UF38-944017. This jack has a 12-volt motor for quick and simple lifting. The lift capacity is 3,500 pounds. By using a jack with a much higher lifting capacity than the tongue weight of your trailer, there is less wear and tear put on the jack's motor. If you are looking for a more economical option, etrailer offers the etrailer side wind A-Frame Jack, # TJA-5000S-B. This jack gives you a lift capacity of 5,000 pounds. For a...
