Trailer Jacks That Can be Welded to Sides of Trailer For Increased Stability

Question

Question:

I want to purchase 2 trailer jacks that will weld to the rear sides of my trailer I plan to haul a jeep / 4x4 truck with. I want something that I can get welded to the frame and flip up when not in use. I am worried that the hitch could pop off the ball of the truck hitch and want some insurance that this does not happen. Will this product work for me or do you have something else that will work for this application? Thanks Square Direct Weld Jack w/ Footplate - Leg - Topwind - 29-1/4inch Lift - 3,000 lbs Item # TJD-5000

We have close to exactly what you need, although a direct-weld jack such as the Square Direct Weld Jack # TJD-5000 you referenced will not be able to flip up, it will need to remain vertical where it is welded. If you are okay with that then a pair of these jacks will work great for stability so the front of your trailer doesn't pop up and the hitch ball become detached (assuming you do not exceed the 10,000 lb support capacity a pair of these jacks will give you).

If you do need something that flips up then the only option are stabilizer jacks and the ones with the highest capacity are the 1,000 lb Stallion Stabilizer Jacks # 288-01892-2 (that capacity is 1,000 lbs per pair of jacks) which may not be enough for your needs.

I have added links to video reviews of both jacks for you to check out as well.

Hey Chet, It looks like you can use the Bulldog Winch Ratcheting Wheel Tie-Down Strap #BDW20362. This tie down strap can accommodate up to a 37" tire, has a working load limit of 3,335 lbs, and a maximum load limit of 10,000 lbs.

There should be 2 inches minimum between the tires on a dual axle trailer. This will allow the suspension components room to work properly but a little more room is ideal. For instance the Ultra-Fab Chock and Lock Wheel Stabilizers for Tandem-Axle…

Answer 3

Typically when installing a fender like the #CE17937G we recommend at least 3", so anything more than that when installing these with your torsion axle is an added bonus.

The etrailer brand Sidewind Drop Leg Jack you looked at, part #TJD-5000S is actually made up of an outer tube, an inner tube that extends and retracts by actuating the crank and a drop leg that fits inside the inner tube. The drop leg can indeed be…

Answer 5

Since your trailer tire starts with the letter P that means it's for a passenger vehicle and not a trailer you are on the right track replacing them. The closest size is the 225/75-15 which in that size the Westlake part #LHWL304 would be the…

The #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles Item #TRU77FR does not come with a castle nut so you'd need to order that as well with part #165686.

I checked with Trudyde, and I was able to find out that the bar stock material used to make the spindle #TRU77FR is hot rolled SAE 1045 steel which is a medium carbon common steel grade.

Answer 8

Since you have a 3,500 lb trailer axle the correct spindle you'd need is the part #TRU77FR that you referenced. This would match same dimensions as the spindle you have now and also comes with a brake flange.
