Expert Answers about GMC Lift Supports


  • Gen-Y Hitch Loading Ramps # 325-GH-R96 for a 5,000 lb Scissor Lift
  • Each ramp included with the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set # 325-GH-R96 can support up to 5,000 lbs each for a total of 10,000 lbs when the equipment being loaded is supported by both ramps. This weight capacity will be more than enough to use with your 5,000 lb scissor lift as long as you are able to use both ramps to support the weight of the scissor lift. Of course, your trailer will also need to be rated high enough to handle the 5,000 lb scissor lift. Check out the video linked...

  • Can Stabilizer Jacks be Used to Lift and Support Trailer?
  • Stabilizer jacks are not designed to lift and support trailers for something like taking the wheels off; they are meant to simply level and stabilize by handling a portion of the trailer's weight. I would not be able to recommend using stabilizer jacks to keep a trailer up. A better option would be a bottle jack such as the Powerbuilt # ALL620471 to remove tires. I've added links to a pair of video reviews of this jack for you to take a look at.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Kia Sportage to Carry Wheelchair Lift and Motorized Wheelchair
  • According to the owner's manual for the 2017 Kia Sportage the vehicle itself has a tongue weight capacity of 220 pounds.

For a trailer hitch if your Sportage is an EX or LX model I recommend etrailer hitch # e72TR but if you have an SX model the only option is Curt hitch # C13281. Per Curt warranty requirements, all non-trailer loads (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc) must be supported...

  • What is the Lift Capacity of the etrailer.com Square A-Frame Jack # TJDA-5000S

  • What is the Overall Capacity of Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Landing Gear Set RP500708
  • The combined lift and support capacity of the Reese landing gear set # BD500161 is 8,000 pounds. Each leg is rated for 4,000 pounds in this system.

The landing gear set up is the same on many 5th wheel trailers so...
