Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Jack


  • Correct Trailer Jack for a Cherokee 2002 3 Horse Trailer with 8 Foot Living Area and 12000 GVW
  • For your application I recommend using the Bullydog Square Jack # BD182701. This jack has a lift capacity of 12,500 pounds which is rated more appropriately for your trailer with a Gross Vehicle Weight of 12,000 pounds. The Pro-Series Jack that you mentioned # PS1400950376, only has a lift capacity of 10,000 pounds, and a static capacity of 12,000 pounds. Your trailer exceeds the capacities of the jack. The diameter of the drive for the Pro Series # PS1400950376, and the Bulldog are...

  • What Are The Quietest A-Frame Electric Trailer Jacks
  • There are a number of quiet electric A-frame trailer jacks, although the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 you asked about would not be on the list. That said, you were right on the money with the Bulldog, because their Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack - 22" Lift - 4,000 lbs # BD500199 (Black) or # BD500200 (White) has a powered drive which is going to reduce noise. The other quietest A-frame trailer jack is from Stromberg Carlson, the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer...

  • Differences Between The Fulton F2 And Bolt-Thru Trailer Jack
  • In order to recommend an exact fit replacement boat jack for your 2007 Mastercraft single axle trailer, I would need to know the dimension of the bracket you have welded onto your trailer. In order for the Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack part # F1413140334 to fit on the trailer, you would need a bracket with dimensions of 4-1/2" from the horizontal bolt holes and 3-7/8" from the vertical bolt holes. If you do not have these dimensions and would still like to use this jack, you will need...

  • Comparing the Husky Brute and Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jacks
  • There are pros and cons to both Husky and Bulldog electric trailer jacks. My favorite Husky jack is the Husky Brute Electric Trailer Jack part # HT87247 and my favorite Bulldog jack is the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack part # BD500187. The reason I like the Husky is because it has a built-in automatic stop that will prevent you from overextending the jack and damaging the internal components. The reason I like the Bulldog jack is because it has a five year warranty so if anything were...

  • Replacing Scissor Jacks with Frame Mount Stabilizer Jack on a 32 Foot 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The advantage that the Frame-Mount Stabilizer Jack, # UF39-941707, gives you over scissor jacks, like part # UF48-979002, is that it is one unit mounted across your trailer frame providing more stability. This stabilizer jack can be adjusted from either side like your scissor jacks to accommodate for surfaces that are not level.

  • Comparing Rack and Gear Trailer Jacks with Regular Jacks
  • If you are looking at a rack and post such as # BD018006 it is just a replacement for the post in a rack and gear jack. A rack and gear jack such as # BD018161 works along with # BD018006. This one gets welded to the frame. Jack # BD169201 clamps to the frame, and one like # BD165411 bolts in as an A-Frame jack. Unlike a typical jack that has a fixed nut inside and a screw that turns in it to raise/lower the inner leg, rack and gear jacks have the gear track fixed to the post and the...

  • Mounting Plate Thickness of 5K Round A-Frame Trailer Jack and 2K Ram Round A-Frame Trailer Jack
  • I went out to our warehouse for you and measured both the Round A-Frame Trailer Jack part # TJA-5000-B and Ram Round A-Frame Trailer Jack part # TJA-2000-Z, the mounting plates are the same thickness which I measured at 3/16". That said, this isn't really where the jacks capacity comes from but rather the internal mechanism i.e. the jack screw. If you had a failure at the plate then I would suspect an issue with the mounting surface or the weld attaching the jack tube to the mounting plate....

  • Can Scissor Jacks be Used in Place of Blocks on a Destination Trailer
  • You can use the Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks, # UF48-979002, in place of blocks. In fact, many newer destination trailers use multiple scissor jacks. Keep in mind, these are stabilization jacks. They are not meant to raise the trailer, just to stabilize the movement. Blocks are commonly used because they are not only inexpensive and readily available, but they also provide more ground contact and zero movement over time. If you will be parking this trailer on grass or dirt for extended...

  • Sidewind Jacks Versus Topwind Jacks
  • There really is not an advantage to having a side-wind jack versus a top-wind jack. It really just comes down to personal preference and what clearances are available on the trailer. You may find that the handle location would interfere with components mounted on your trailer with one style, but not for the other. In theory you would need to bend over farther to operate a sidewind jack since the jack handle goes up and down. Depending on the height of your trailer this may not be an issue...

  • Can I Replace My Trailer Jack With A Jack That Has a Wheel
  • The Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack # FXP15 will be the replacement part you are looking for. It has a wheel and will fit the same bracket that you now have installed on your trailer. Please note that the Bulldog Trailer Jack # BD154107 that you mentioned has a lift capacity of 2,000 lbs, while the Fulton Bolt-Thru # FXP15 has a lift capacity of 1,500 lbs. You will want to make sure that you don't go over this limit while using this jack.

  • What is the Difference Between the Ultra-Fab Stabilizer Jacks # UF48-979002 and # UF48-97006
  • Both Ultra-Fab Scissor Jacks, # UF48-979002 and # UF48-979006, are mechanically similar. Both jacks have a 24 inch lift and both jacks have a capacity of 6,500 lbs. The real difference between the two part numbers # UF48-979006 is sold a piece and # UF48-979002 are sold in the pair. The jack's mount has multiple hole pattern to allow the jack to fit multiple applications. Drill mounting holes to match bolt pattern on jack mount. Hardware is not include, but 5/16 inch bolts are recommend...

  • Comparing Trailer Jacks and Stabilizers
  • Jacks and stabilizers differ in that jacks like # PSEA20000103 are intended to lift part/all of the trailer tongue weight while stabilizer jacks like Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks # UF48-979002 are intended to support weight and prevent motion (but not to do actual lifting). Even though these stabilizers are each rated for 6500-lbs (far more than your camper's actual weight) you do not want to use them to lift the trailer. Keep in mind that the mounting point where you install them also...

  • Comparison of Husky A-Frame Trailer Jacks to etrailer.com Trailer Jack to Replace an Atwood
  • The etrailer.com Electric Jack # EJ-3520-WBX has a 1-year warranty on its parts. Replacement parts are sometimes available however not always as common. Atwood has been purchased by Lippert so parts for their jacks are becoming more and more difficult to find. However, sometimes the parts are available from Lippert you just need to find what works with the Atwood model. The Husky Brute HT87247 has been discontinued, however I think the best of them all is the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR...

  • Comparing Bulldog Powered-Drive Jack Kits # BD1824200100 and # BD1824180100
  • The difference between the two Bulldog powered-drive jack kits you referenced, parts # BD1824200100 and # BD1824180100, is that the first one is for a single-speed jack and # BD1824180100 is for a 2-speed jack. Both are rated for 12,000-lbs jacks. My research did not reveal any photos or specs for the Towmaster THD214 dump trailer so I cannot state whether these kits are suitable. If you can confirm that the trailer uses a 12K Bulldog jack and confirm if it is a single- or 2-speed type...

  • Difference Between Lippert Stabilizing Jacks
  • The only difference between the two Lippert high-speed stabilizing jacks is the color of the switch kit, with one being white and the other being black. Otherwise, they are exactly the same, though neither will level your trailer, they are for stabilization only; the two part numbers are the following: - Black Switch: Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack # LC298707 - White Switch: Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack # LC369774 Since you mentioned leveling, the easiest way to...

  • Comparing of the Atwood and Bulldog Electric Trailer Jacks
  • The Atwood Power Trailer Jack with Cover and Foot has a lift speed of 15 inches per minute. It also has a lift range of 14 inches. This jack has been around for a very long time and is very dependable. The wiring on this jack is slightly larger than the wiring on the Bulldog model. It is rated for 3,000 pounds. The Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 14 inch Lift - 4,000 lbs, # BD500199, has a lift range of 14 inches, the only other added feature that this jack has...

  • What Is The Difference Between These Jacks And The Ones On A 2022 Coachmen Northern Spirit 2252MD TT
  • There isn't a guide to tell us what jacks were used on your 2022 Coachmen Northern Spirit 2252MD travel trailer, so I wouldn't know what the exact differences are between them and the Leveling Scissor Jack Set # JSC-24. That being said these jacks have a combined rating of 10,000lbs, which is most likely much higher than your current jacks since the trailer only has a GVWR of 7,6000lbs. You technically only need jacks rated for a portion of the weight since the majority of the weight...

  • Is Hardwre Included with the Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack # F1413060334

The Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack with Dual 7 inch Wheels, Sidewind -1,600 lbs - No Mounting Hardware, item # F1413100334, does not come with any mounting hardware. You can purchase the weld on plate, item # F500277 separately to mount the jack to your trailer frame. A bolt on plate is not...

  • Comparing Operating Speed of Electric Tongue Jacks
  • Powered tongue jacks like the Stromberg Carlson # JET-2500 and the others shown on the linked page do not all carry jacking speed ratings. This is because there are a lot of variables that affect speed of operation. Generally speaking, there is no simple answer to your good question. Any given jack will operate more slowly if used near its maximum weight capacity. Higher capacity jacks may often run slower than lower capacity jacks since their internal mechanisms are beefier/heavier to...
