Scissor Jacks like the Leveling Scissor Jack - 24" Lift - 5,000 lbs # JSC-24-IND should be mounted at 90 degrees from the trailer frame rail. This allows you to have full crank handle movement of the Crank Handle for Stromberg Carlson Scissor Jacks and Tongue Jacks # JCH-1. The Ultra-Fab Speed Socket Power Drill Adapter for Scissor Jacks # UF48-979005 is and alternative option.
