Replacement Jack Solution for Shelby 5856A that Uses Same Mount

Question

Question:

I have a boat trailer with a damaged weld on Shelby 5856A jack. Shelby is no longer in business. Is there a replacement jack that will mount onto the welded on bracket or will I have to buy a bolt on, or buy another weld-on and have the old bracket removed and replaced with the new?

I recommend replacing it with the Fulton Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack - Weld On - Sidewind - 10" Lift - 1,200 lbs # FTJ120W0301 which will fit your existing jack mount so it will be an exact replacement, and you will actually have a little stronger of a jack as this jack has a 1200lb lift capacity compared to your Shelby jack that had a 1000lb capacity. What that means is that it will be a little easier to jack up and down.

We have a winch that will work to replace your Shelby 5407B but we no longer have a replacement handle for you. I recommend part #DL14627 which is a Dutton-Lainson single speed winch rated for 1,800 pounds. The specs are similar to the Shelby.

What you've got there looks like some type of proprietary mount that we don't offer. We do however have jacks that would work. I'd recommend having the mount removed and using a weld-on jack like the Fulton #FXP100W0301 and the #P9012-00…

The Draw-Tite item #DT73QR installs below the bumper. This hitch is perpetually backordered due to Draw-Tite being bought out so I have a way better option for a hitch for your 2023 Lexus RX 350. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item #C29VV. This…
