In order to determine if the Jack-It 2 # LC429756 fits your 2021 Forest River Independence Trail 188DBK travel trailer, there are a few factors to consider. The first factor is the width of your a-frame's outer tubing. The Jack-It is designed to fit tubing that is under 2-1/4". I recommend measuring your frame tubing to make sure the Jack-It can clamp around the frame bars.
Another thing you need to consider is if you have enough clearance length on your a-frame. This requirement includes the length of your bike's crossbars when mounted on the rack. To give you an approximation of how much length you need to have between the coupler and the nose of the trailer, the overall length of the Jack-It is 17-1/2 inches long from front to back. It is important to note that your bikes' handlebars will add length to this measurement.
I went ahead and attached a diagram of the dimensions of the Jack-It to provide you with perspective. I also attached a review video for you to check out.
