Compatibility of Weight Distribution System and Swivel Jack

Question:

Recently purchsed a reese weight distribution system for my folding tent trailer and now I am having issues with the swivel jack with poly wheel getting in the way of the WD spring arm. Any suggestions to get around this? Thanks

A weight distribution system is not designed to accommodate the space needed for a swivel jack, since typically A-frame jacks are used on A-frame trailers. If the swivel jack and weight distribution system are not working together, you will want to move the swivel jack to provide the necessary room for the weight distribution system.

Another option is to replace the swivel jack with an a-frame trailer jack. We offer several A-frame jacks with wheels already attached and many other a-frame jacks that have wheels available. Our most popular A-frame jack is the Pro Series Round A-Frame Jack # PSEA20000103. A wheel that will work well with this jack is # PS1400750340. I have attached a link to all of our A-frame jacks for you.

If you do not have an A-frame trailer, but rather a pole-tongue trailer, you can use an adapter for the weight distribution system. For trailers up to 14,000 pounds, you will want part # RP58393. For trailers up to 7,500 pounds, you can use part # RP3280.
