The Ultimate Trailer Jack has a wide range of adjustability and it is easy to use, making it a dependable choice for your A-frame trailer. Its adjustable design allows for maximum clearance, drastically reducing the potential for damaging hang-ups. The jack also features an outer tube that extends to provide extra lift. This removes the need for common space fillers while providing a sturdy base of support. With this jack, the hassle of dealing with drop legs, bulky blocks, or heavy bricks is a thing of the past.
The Ultimate Trailer Jack has a compact profile that allows the jack to remain flush with the trailer frame when it's retracted. This prevents the jack from catching on uneven terrain while you tow, protecting both the jack and the trailer from damage. No longer do you have to worry about bending a jack on a back road or in an unmaintained parking lot.
Oftentimes, damage from snags and hang-ups occurs because the jack isn't fully retracted. It can be difficult to see if a standard jack is fully retracted because only the inner tube extends down for use. This means that the height of the visible portion of the jack, which sits above the trailer frame, doesn't change when the jack is extended. As a result, it can be easy to overlook whether or not the jack is still extended.
The Ultimate Trailer Jack offers a simple solution for this. If the jack is raised above the trailer frame, it is in the stowed position. If the outer tube is not visible above the trailer frame, then you know that the jack is still in the support position, and it must be retracted and raised before you can hit the road.
Once you have arrived at your destination, setting up is a breeze with the quick-release jack tube on the Ultimate Trailer Jack. Dropping the outer tube will give you up to 12" of lift to ensure solid contact with the ground. The ability to drop the jack tube removes the need for space fillers like blocks, bricks, or a drop leg when using the jack.
The outer tube also provides a sturdy alternative to a standard drop leg. Traditional drop legs average about 1-3/4" in diameter. But the outer tube of this jack measures 2-1/4" in diameter. The result is a base that is far sturdier and more stable than that of a standard drop leg jack.
On a standard drop leg jack, the release pin is tucked away under the trailer frame. The release pin on this jack is conveniently located right above the mount for easy access. In addition, the pin on this jack is spring-loaded so that you don't have to remove the pin to drop the tube. Instead, just remove the clip from the quick-release pin and grab the built-in, easy-to-grip handle. With a firm grip on the jack post, pull on the pin handle and then rotate it 180 degrees. Lower the post to the desired position and rotate the pin handle back to lock the outer tube in place.
Once you've dropped the jack tube into the desired position, you can get up to an additional 15-1/2" of lift by cranking the jack. When you are ready to pack up and hit the road again, hitch the trailer back up to your vehicle, retract the jack's inner tube using the crank, and reposition the jack back up into the mount so that the bottom is flush with your trailer's frame.
To maximize stability, outfit the jack with an industry-standard footplate (included) or caster (sold separately).
The jack screw of the Ultimate Trailer Jack is built with ball bearings that roll smoothly along the threads of the screw shaft and the nut. This eliminates direct surface-to-surface contact within the screw. This produces far less friction along the threads, leading to a reduction in heat and wear, as well as noise. The overall result is a jack that can be raised and lowered faster, smoother and more efficiently, and with less effort.
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 jack thinggee works really well. It solved my problem of not having enough room to attach the wheel when unhitching the camper. although, the bolt holes did not line up exactly, my handyman was able to make it work to attach this device.
I have this jack on my enclosed snowmobile trailer. Best feature is the ability to lift the jack foot up very close to the trailer tongue. With the stock jack I would scrap the ground while exciting over curb or tough trail heads. I’d give if five stars but in freezing conditions the jack pins and slide functions can be difficult to use.
One of the best investment for my trailer! Works great, tucks high to avoid contact with our trailer tug.
Modified the top with a bolt-on 5/8" hex connector and it easily lifts a loaded cargo trailer with a 1/2' cordless drill.

Well, I needed to replace it about a year in. Easy enough, two bolts and just swapped jacks within the mount. About a year in the jack failed. First it got a bit tight to turn and would stick while lowering, eventually failed to crank after a “pop” raising trailer. Screw had been keep lubricated, and trailer stored indoors so minimal exposure to elements. Luckily, failure happened at home and floor jack was handy to unhook trailer.
I have a 14' utility trailer I use to transport my Yamaha Wolverine Side by Side. I tow it behind my pickup and my motorhome. It is normal for me to travel some questionable dirt roads. As a result I bent the original jack several times and actually had to replace it once. It didn't retract far enough, it left an inch or two hanging below the A-frme tongue. Sometimes a steep driveway approach would catch it and bend it. When I destroyed the replacement jack I decided it was time to look for a solution.
I spent a few more bucks and got the Ultimate Trailer Jack. It retracts above the bottom of the A-frame tongue so the jack is protected. Problem solved!
I recommend this trailer jack to anyone that has a clearance issue that results in dragging your trailer jack.

The Ultimate trailer jack is simply “The Solution” for those who have bent a center mount trailer jack that doesn’t fully, completely retract above the trailer frame. I haven’t had any problem with jack clearance since I installed an Ultimate trailer jack. It was necessary for me to use Allen head hardware to mount my new jack because of the bolt pattern on my Big Tex trailer.
Mine arrived with a drill bit end broken into the release handle. In fact, the drill bit was what was holding it together. I don't know what a production unit has in that through hole (a roll pin?). Regardless, it isn't something you want to find in a new jack. After I punched it out, I added a snap ring pin to hold it in place. One other comment would be that the foot needs to be unbolted in order to remove the jack. Ideally a locking pin would have been better than the bolt for a "no-tools-needed" removal.
Exactly what I needed to keep my tailgate from hitting the Jack when I lowered tailgate. This also allows the Jack to be lowered so I do not have to crank the Jack as far. The Jack will raise up higher when driving to have better ground clearance.

After a year I am still really happy with this Jack. I was afraid being moveable it would not hold up, but it works great.
Literally a 10 minute change out. I was a bit concerned about the hole spacing, as pointed out in one of the installation videos, fixed vs. slotted holes, but this was not an issue for me. I was looking to gain more "dip" clearance and I was able to get over 3 inches with the Ultimate Trailer Jack. With the foot removed and the jack completely raised, there is nothing extending below the trailer frame. The drop-down feature saves a ton of cranking! Highly recommended this product if you don't absolutely have a need for an electric tongue jack.
This trailer jack is well designed and manufactured. Shipping was prompt. The jack is sturdy as well as having the advantage that it can be positioned so that nothing protrudes below the A-frame, yet s 90 degree rotation of a handle allows the outer jack to drop to any of a number of positions, then the inner jack is extended using the crank as with lesser tongue jacks. The quality is impressive.

Great! I wish I had had this 30 or more year ago. It saves so much time every hookup and release.

The trailer jack is awesome. Under a heavy load the original bolt snapped that holds the handle. It was easy enough to replace the broken bolt with a new one and it is like new again.
This solves a problem that I had - Thanks! I bent my first trailer jack when backing trailer up over a small bump. This resolves the issue, and I was not aware that this type of jack existed.

I have had good success with the jack.
Awesome jack. Super heavy duty. Removed my electric jack and put this in its place. Love the fact that you can lock it out at various levels. The price point was great as well.

Jack still works perfectly after 1 year. Our trailer is a Lance 1475 so really doesnt need electric assist. I love the simplicity of this jack, and probably weighs 25lbs less than the electric jack it replaced.

I bought this jack to solve a problem and it sure did. With the old jack the pickups' tailgates lowered themselves to place painted metal directly on the sharp edges of the jack's crank. Sure the slotted tennis ball solved the scratched paint issue, but you still had a potential dent if any extra weight got put on the tailgate. There's now an inch clearance.
The fit wasn't exactly a perfect replacement for the old jack, to the eye it should have worked, but when just put in place and tightened down, it wouldn't move. It took a few minutes of enlarging bolt holes with a file and a washer or two to tweak the barrel's alignment through the two big holes on the trailer tongue. I can't say the Ultimate Jack was misaligned, nor can I say that of the trailer; probably both. It just needed a bit of care to fit them up. Dozens of trips, thousands of miles, doing fine.
I love these telescopic landing gear jacks . Put them on all my trailers and buy them all from you ! My drive way pad drops three feet so I also bought new wheels and taller tires from you and everything clears now. I take off the sand shoe and all is good !Thanks for the fast shipping and great comunication ! cya soon again
Excellent jack it fits my needs perfectly cause of the uneven areas i go thru with my trailer .by being able to to tuck away or raise up. your chances of it being ripped off are eliminated.
Up and out of the way is a great feature to have in a jack and will purchase more as needed i love it and how it functions well thought out. Thank you

I went through 3 other jacks in half a year before finding this one. We have an offroad teardrop on 33 in tires, with rock sliders and independent suspension, but one little dip in the trail and all of the other jacks we had bent back. This is the best off-road jack I have come across as it is able to slide all the way up into the frame to avoid any damage on the trail.
Best addition to our rv trailer. Have spare tire mounted on rear swing gate. Now we can open rear gate for access without unhooking trailer. Excellent product, good price, easy to mount, 3 bolts.
fix's the problem of dragging the the jack. I had the old one as a swing up but the new style is tons better you can see the old and the new in the picture. easy to install and I added the wheel so I can push it around
I was so happy to receive this unique jack, which can be raised high or conversely, be lowered to the ground merely by releasing a safety clip and pin. It's exceptional, as it can be raised to allow sufficient ground clearance while trading. It was reasonably priced and seems quite well-built for the money. This type of trailer jack is not readily available at many places, I've found. I had also kept my swing-away jack on the side of the a-frame just in case I need it, rather than popping off the o ring and eliminating the extra jack. It may come in handy for those occasions whereupon I might need to add the castor wheel to the adjustable center a-frame trailer jack. Be extra careful and vigilant with this adjustment center a-frame trailer jack as you need to be mindful of the pinch points, being that it's adjustable. Other than that, I am exceptionally pleased with this rare find.
Perfect for someone b ending a jack that will raise high for low clearance trailers or vehicles.

Still great
This has been a,life changing jack! So much faster and less cranking on the handle. Another positive that I figured out was I can drop the jack while the trailer is hooked up and lower my tailgate with interference and scraping up my tailgate. If I had one criticism the handle could be a stouter.it hasn't bent but feels like it could. Been using this jack on a 20ft enclosed trailer for a year now and I love it
I have been looking for some solution to my tailgate hitting my jack for a while. The solutions of a swing out jack don't work well for me as it would have to be too far off center for my comfort and on the outside of the tongue due to the breakaway box and spare tire. Found this and my dreams were fulfilled. Installed in minutes in place of my original jack. Easy to use, an excellent tool!

Still great! I occasionally lube the slide and pin with dry lube. Best manual trailer jack I have ever owned.
Best trailer jack i have used!

Still working great a year later!
Perfect replacement and saves time raising the tongue.
Impressive design and construction. I may weld a 3/4-inch lug nut to the end of the handle to allow me to spin it with a battery-powered drill.
The trailer jack bolted right on and works great.

This jack is great! It’s easy to use, sturdy and reliable. I don’t have to think about the grade level where I park.
