The Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, part # UF38-944017 you referenced would certainly work for your trailer based on the tongue weight you furnished. This jack does have a weight capacity of 3500 lbs, and has an 18 inch lift. it can be bolted on or welded to the trailer, and hardware is not included.

Another option I recommend is the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack, part # JET-2500. It has a weight capacity of 2500 lbs, which is still well within the range you need for tongue weight. This jack has an 18 inch lift, and the hardware is included.

A jack that has a higher weight capacity would have less stress when used so it should last longer.
