Bottle Jack Recommendation to Lift Front End of Trailer for Replacing Trailer Jack
Question:
I have a 2007 Star 21SD, with a front cargo toy hauler area. I prefer to load the cargo area over the tongue, which the tongue jack interferes with. I realize leveling jacks are not necessarily designed to lift a load, but I am wondering if this lippert leveling jack would lift the front of the trailer allowing me to permanently remove the tongue jack. With the trailer loaded the tongue weight is 1200 lbs.

Expert Reply:
Stabilizer jacks are not designed to lift the weight of a trailer. Best option we can provide is a bottle jack like the part # ALL620471 to lift both sides of the trailer frame so that you can get the trailer supported enough to remove and reinstall your tongue jack.
