Swivel Trailer Jack with Enough Lift to get 20 Inches from the Ground to Bottom of Trailer Frame
Question:
Hi, I need a jack that extends to roughly 19-20, give or take an inch or two, measured from the ground to the bottom of the tongue frame. Its a 3x4 frame... so if the bracket hole is in the center of a 4inch tongue frame 2inch up from the tongue bottom, I guess thats about 21inch to the bracket hole. This jack looks good, 10inch lift is plenty, but overall it wont get me to the extended height I want... will it? If not is there a longer foot and leg that can be replaced on this unit? Or is there a similar unit with a longer leg? Can I change a wheeled jack to a jack with a foot? Im looking for a swivel style, no wheel just a foot, bolt on, with fully extended hieght of at least 21inch to the center of the tongue. Thanks for your help!

With Pro Series Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack # PS1400300303 installed it will measure 21 inches from the center of the mounting bracket to the bottom of the foot. When fully extended that would make the distance from the ground to the bottom of the frame where the jack is installed 19 inches on a 4 inch tall frame.
What I recommend is Fulton F2 Swing-Up Jack # F1413230134. This jack has a mounting bracket that can be raised or lowered on the outer jack leg. This means you can adjust the position of the jack vertically along its 13 inch long channel. This is the best jack for your needs. I have included a link to a video review for you.
