Given the 3500 lb weight of your trailer, your tongue weight will be somewhere between 350 and 525 lbs, so you won't need a jack with a super-high capacity. This being said, choosing a jack with a higher rating than you need isn't a bad idea. The jack (as well as you) won't have to work so hard, which means the jack will last longer.

I've looked through our selection of trailer jacks, and have found that none of the jacks we offer have a 2 inch diameter outer tube.

2-1/4 inches is the standard outside diameter of the outer tube. The industry standard bolt hole measurement is 3 inches apart on center. In order to install an A-frame jack, you'd need to have the hole in your A-frame enlarged. Once that's completed, the Bulldog # BD155028 with its 15 inch lift and 2000 lb capacity would be a good choice.
