How Much Lift Does Fulton TJ12220301 Trailer Jack Provide

Question:

Is the liftinch measured from the ground or from the top of the jack wheel? The tongue of the trailer has to be 15inch off the ground to fit onto the hitch.

The lift of a trailer jack is the height difference between it's retracted length and its length when fully extended.

When fully retracted, the mounting bracket of the jack will sit about 9 inches above the bottom of the caster wheel. When fully extended, the bracket will be about 24 inches above the bottom of the caster wheel, so it'll work just fine for a trailer ball height of 15 inches.
