When the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 is fully retracted it has a height from the middle of it's pivoting trailer bracket mount of 9 inches to the ground. So what you'd need to do is measure from the middle of your trailer frame down to the ground near the coupler when it's attached to your tow vehicle and as long as that distance is taller than 9 inches this jack will be able to fold up into position like you need.
