Recommended Sidewind Bolt-On Trailer Jack For 2,800 Lb Trailer

Question

Question:

I am looking for a trailer jack - side frame mount - bolt-on - sidewind. I measured my frame dimensions. It is 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall. The tongue weight of my trailer is 380 lbs. The total weight of my trailer is 2800 lbs. I would prefer a jack with a foot rather than wheels. I want to spread the weight out a bit better for camping on muddy ground so I thought a foot would be better. I currently have a jack with a wheel and find that the tongue is too heavy to make the wheel useful. Can you recommend some products? Thank you.

The bracket system, out of the box, will accommodate trailer frame members up to 5 inches in height and 3-1/2 inches in thickness. For thicker frame members, you'd need to source some longer bolts. The jack has a 2000 lb lift capacity, but keep…

The 4-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Connector #PK11402 is a standard size used in North America. Do understand that while there is a standard wiring pattern it is possible to be wired differently which could cause issues.

Thank you for the image. It appears you will need either the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler #DM13203-95 or #DM16080-95. Both of these couplers have a zinc coating for increased corrosion resistance and fit on a standard 3" wide channel…

My favorite trailer hitch for your 2019 Dodge Durango is the Draw Tite part #DT38MR because it installs behind the rear fascia cut out designed for a hitch so that when not in use you can cover it. See picture. I attached an install video for this…
