Looking for Shorter A-Frame Jack to Clear my Tailgate  

Question:

I recently purchased a new Wells Cargo trailer, and the A-frame jack is so tall it hits the tailgate of my truck. Im looking for a shorter A-frame jack that will clear the tailgate when open. So you have any jacks that are 12inch or less from the bracket up? Im not particularly concerned about travel height, I just need it to clear the tailgate. Thanks,

I went to our warehouse and was able to locate an a-frame jack that measured less than 12 inches from the bracket up.

The Bulldog Round A-Frame Jack, # BD155032, comes in just under 11-1/2 inches which included the handle. I have attached a picture to illustrate the measurement. This a-frame jack has a lift capacity of 5,000 pounds and mounts to any standard a-frame coupler. If you would like a footplate for the jack, Bulldog offers the Detachable Footplate, # BD018564.

If you are still concerned about not having enough clearance and the jack hitting the tailgate, you may want to have an additional piece of metal welded further back, across the tongue of your trailer, which would give you the option to move the mounting location of the jack.
