Based on my research, the Fulton Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack # FTJ120W0301 will be a perfect replacement for your Shelby 5756A trailer jack. This jack will allow you to use the existing snap ring jack mount on your trailer for installation. The trailer jack has a 1,200 pound weight capacity and a 10 inch lift. The snap ring pilot hole diameter is 2.313 inches and the retracted bracket height is 13 inches. Note that the jack does include a weld-on mounting plate, but you can use the existing one on your trailer along with the snap ring.

I have attached a video demonstration on this trailer jack so you can see it in action.
