Trailer Jack Recommendation that Allow Tailgate Clearance

Question

Question:

Can a scissor jack be used as an A-Frame tongue jack? I am looking at a bumper with a swing away tire carrier, but it will interfere with my standard trailer A-Frame jack. Are there other low profile options for an A-Frame jack? Thanks

Scissor jacks are designed for stabilizing, not lifting. I wouldn't recommend you use one as an A-frame jack. You might be better off with a side mounted jack like the part # DL22800 that can be positioned further back on the trailer frame for more tailgate clearance.

If the copper wire has turned black, it will mean one of two things. First, salt water somehow got through the insulation/jacket, causing it to severely oxidize. Second, it overheated and actually burned some of that jacket. In either case, I highly…
