The Replacement Lead Jack w/ Drop Leg # LG-179013 will work based on the helpful measurements you have given. The leg length is also 29-1/2" with a distance from the top to the closest weld stop measuring 6-3/4" and from the bottom to the closest weld stop measuring 5-1/4" These have a weight capacity of 4,000 lbs and have mounting locations for a motor.

I have attached a diagram showing the measurements as well as a review video for your reference.

Answer 6

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
