This Dutton-Lainson trailer jack is a back saver when it comes to hitching and unhitching loaded trailers. Heavy-duty D-L tongue jacks reduce the effort required to maneuver a loaded trailer into hitching position or to remove from a vehicle.
Features:
Specs:
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.
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.

This Dutton-Lainson trailer jack is a back saver when it comes to hitching and unhitching loaded trailers. Heavy-duty D-L tongue jacks reduce the effort required to maneuver a loaded trailer into hitching position or to remove from a vehicle.The jack broke on our bear pontoon trailer. Tried looking number up on broken jack and couldn't find anything number wise to match. Called e trailer and asked them if they could cross reference the number somehow. And found a match that was verified by the manufacturer. Thanks for making it easy.
My new Dutton-Lainson Tongue Jack from erailer has eliminated the potential problem of receiving an unwanted tailgate ding. This unit is heavy duty with a 1,000 pound tongue rating - not some $35 throw-away unit that you usually get from Big Box stores.
Installation on my new Karavan Utility Trailer was easy enough, taking no more than 30 minutes, and that's without even reading the installation instructions!
The D-L tongue jack provides trailer tongue quick drop, as well as high quality worm gear internals.
Thanks etrailer! Satisfied Customer
Replaced my 20 yr old fulton jack with your dutton. Exact replacement didn't have to use any of the hardware, just bolted it in place. Now my shore lander boat trailer should go another decade or two. Ready for the fishing season here in Michigan, thanks so much I'll make sure to tell all my fishing friends what a great service you offer.
Placed on a 16' Aluminum boat/Trailer. This was the only trailer jack I could find which would raise the bow of the boat sufficiently to place the trailer coupler above the hitch ball. I have a tongue weight of about 150 pounds and arthritis in my back.
Pros:
It seems to be made of quality materials. Rustproofing seems to be robust. Does raise the coupler at least 5 inches higher than the previous hitch. Installation is simple but........
Cons:
There are no installation instructions except "refer to the drawing", which is a blow-up view of all the parts of the jack. There is no step 1, step 2, etc. Unfortunately, there are a few parts that could be installed incorrectly. It's easy to put together once you figure out what goes where.
Gets 5 stars if it had reasonable assembly instructions.
Perfect replacement for our trailer jac k.
Came in quick. My customer was very hap py
Great strong trailer jack. I use on the trailer that I haul my ATV with. Makes moving the trailer from storeage shed to truck a breeze. Now I don't have unload the ATV to move the trailer into storage. Ijust let the ATV on the trailer and roll it back in to the shed.
The trailer jack I ordered was a direct replacement for my existing one. It did come with all of the hardware to make it a universal fit for any trailer. The service was great and product shipped fast. I even received an email after parts arrived ensuring that my order was correct. I would recommend Etrailer to anyone needing towing or trailer parts. A+ service.
This jack seems ok, for the money I DID expect to find a grease fitting on the crank shaft, not just a "hole" for grease.....How am I supposed to get the grease in? also, the worst instructions for assembly I have ever seen, it referred to viewing a diagram which had multiple other units pieces displayed, I guessed on how to assemble it with hit and miss and I had to disassemble it a few times before I got it right but finally I got it mounted....I guess one is expected to buy the more expensive version made by Fulton to get better quality.....I might have bought that model but there was no way to secure it from theft which to me seemed quite possible for a product costing that much......live and learn!
I couldn't find the trailer jack I needed until I went to eTrailer.com and spoke to Debbie H. She listened to my problem and suggested two different jacks for me to look at, I choose the second one realizing that the only difference in the jack was that the manufacturer of that Jack raised the lifting wieght by 200 lbs. Debbie H. Is a wonderful person and she is greatly knowledgeable of her companies inventory... That Lady knows her stuff!!!

I was not able to find a exact replacement for my trailer jack until I found Etrailer.com. Good price, fast shipping, great product.
Item was exactly as described, used this jack as a replacement for a 1991 Shoreland’r boat trailer with Profile 2000 winch stand
I should have replaced this trailer Jack a long time ago
Easy installation and I am able to move my trailer wherever I need to
thumbs up
We ordered the wrong item #. They immediately issued a UPS return ticket and helped us get the right item ordered. It was delivered quickly.
The trailer jack is exactly what we needed.
We will order from here again.
Great products & Great service!!
Great product and made in the good old U.S.A. Replaced similar jack after 10 years of use. Packaging was the best I have ever see. Delivered in strong shipping box with fast shipping.
Solid product, easy install. Took the extra steps of spray painting the pieces and adding a smidge of grease to the moving parts. Would buy again!
We were one hundred percent satisfied with the product and the service! The jack was an exact match to the one I had! Shipping was sooner than expected. I would recommend this company! Thanks!
Very hard to install the ring clip. Better instructions and or a tool to install the ring would be helpful. Otherwise, the construction is sturdy and well made
Installation was easy, just had to get some locktite.
Just what I ordered...brand new in box, all hardware included and bolted right on. Exact replacement! Thanks!
Well made high quality product. Replacing the garbage jack that originally came with my pwc trailer. Spend the extra cash, you'll be thankful when you see it.
Replaced an old jack on my trailer for my searay 190. This worked great
Fast shipping and great product. picture did not show the mounting hardware and I did not need it.
Arrived quickly
Easier to install than I thought, I didn’t box it in
Wish I got a big wheel or double wheel
The exact replacement for my boat trailer.
