Solution for Installing Trailer Jack on Frame that Measures 6 inches Tall
Question:
I have a 1986 correct craft trailer that has a 6 inch frame. Is there a jack and mount kit for that? It was a heavy duty fixed jack. I am seeing most only fit 3 x 5 inch trailers.

We have a solution that will work for you, but none of the bolt-on trailer jacks we offer are compatible with a 6 inch tall trailer frame.
For a trailer frame of that height, I'd recommend you use a weld-on jack like part # FTJ120W0301. This jack has a 1200 lb capacity, and easily swivels rearward for storage with the pull of a pin.
A qualified welder in your area would have no problem installing this jack either. Would only take them a matter of minutes. Weld on applications are better in my opinion as they offer a much more solid install that you would not have to worry about every coming loose.
