The Trailer Valet Jack, # STC-V211, takes up 7-1/4 inches of the frame rail and it can mount to any trailer frame rail up to 2-3/4 inches wide and up to 6 inches tall. Since you only have about 6 to 6-1/2 inches available, this may not work for you.
We do not carry any other jacks that function like the Trailer Valet, but another jack that you may be interested in is the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack with Dual Wheels, # FXPD15L. This jack has a slightly shorter lift height of 12 inches and a weight capacity of 1,500 lbs, which is significantly larger than the Trailer Valet.
If you also want an option that will allow move the trailer around without hooking it to a trailer hitch, you may be interested in a trailer dolly like the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly, # RA20. This dolly has a maximum weight capacity of 500 lbs, so the tongue weight of your trailer cannot exceed that weight. I have attached a review video of this dolly for you to check out.
