Is 2,000 lb Weight Rating for Ultimate Trailer Jack for the Tongue Weight or Overall Weight
Published 11/05/2024
Question:
I have a pre-purchase question about one of your trailer jacks and my 7x7x16 Anvil cargo trailer toy hauler conversion. Reason for my question is because Im getting conflicting information online from various forums and advertisements...some say the 2000 lbs. rating is a tongue weight rating and others say it is a total trailer weight rating. Will this jack work with and properly support my trailer? Ultimate Trailer Jack - A-Frame - Topwind - 27-1/2inch Lift - 2,000 lbs. Part Number: 322-RDJ-2Kjack Note...the trailer is approx. 2900 lbs. and Im estimating that the inside content HD Low Rider motorcycle, counter top and cabinets up front and various living items...two fold-up beds, storage cabinet, frig, etc. is approx. 1050-1100 lbs. so total weight with trailer and content should be around 3900-4000 lbs. Thanks for your help with this pre-purchase question and also for offering such great services, products and helpful support!

Hey Sid, I'd be happy to help clear the air for you!
The 2,000 lb rating for the Ultimate Trailer Jack # 322-RDJ-2K is for the tongue weight - not the whole weight of the trailer so you'll be good to go!
Trailer A-Frame jacks support the nose, or tongue, of the trailer while the tires of the trailer support the rear of the trailer (or rear jacks in the case of some trailers).
Hope this helps you out!
