Recommended Scissor Stabilizer Jacks For A 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2250RK

Question:

How do you know the size of a scissor stabilizer jack? We have a 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2250RK and need a replacement. We know it is a 24” but do not know if we need a 2 1/2 ton or up to a 6 1/2 ton. Can you help?

Scissor jacks like the Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks # UF48-979002 you were looking at are designed more for stabilization and less for leveling the trailer because they aren't really designed to hold the weight of the trailer off the ground. Even though you won't be fully lifting the trailer I still recommend getting close to the GVWR of your trailer. The GVWR listed for your 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2250RK is 6,995lbs so with four scissor jacks you could switch to a lower rated option around 2,000lbs, but the options available in that weight class have a lower lift height.

Keeping cost in mind I personally would go with the Scissor Stabilizer Jacks w/ Handle # TJSCHD-24-4 (18-3/4" Lift & 10,000lb capacity) and then use some leveling blocks like # UF48-979051 to fill in the gap and help spread out the weight. The extra capacity will help ensure a nice stable base for your trailer to help eliminate the springboard feeling as you walk around in the trailer.
