Tongue Jacks With Enough Lift for a Trailer Height of 24 to The Bottom of Tongue

Question:

I look through all of the specifications and QandAs but am not able to find specifications on jacks that will work with a tongue height of 24inch measured from the bottom of the tongue to the level flat ground. Could you please give me a ion of choices in a variety of prices?

I am only going to list bolt on options for you but can go into weld on options to if you would also like those options. When you see a retracted height that refers to the height from the bottom of the footplate or wheel to the center of the mounting bracket.

First is the Dutton-Lainson Bolt-On # DL22320. It has a retracted height of 10-1/4" and offers 28-1/2" of lift via a 13-1/2" drop leg and 15" of jack travel. This jack has a lift capacity of 2,00lbs and will need a lift clearance of 17 ".

You could also go with the Electric Jack w/ Footplate - A-Frame # EJ-3520-BBX if you have the option of an A-frame mounted jack. This jack has a 9" retracted height which is measured from the mounting flange to the base of the jack. It will give you 25-1/8" of lift and weight capacity of 3,500lbs. Clearance is 20-1/2" from bottom of mounting flange on the jack to the top.
