How to Determine the Lift Capacity You Need in a Jack
A trailer jack is designed to lift the tongue of your trailer so you can connect the trailer coupler to your hitch ball. To do this, you'll need a jack with a lift capacity high enough to handle your trailer's tongue weight.
Tongue weight is the amount of weight that your trailer applies to the back of your tow vehicle. Typically, your tongue weight should be 10-15% of your total trailer weight (trailer + cargo). In other words, a 10,000-lb trailer would have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. For a trailer this size, you would need a jack with a lift capacity of at least 1,500 lbs.
It's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher lift capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Trailer and Camper Jack Lift
Every jack offers a certain amount of lift or travel. Screw travel is the distance the jack extends when you crank it (or toggle it to "extend" on an electric model). Some jacks include a drop leg for extra adjustability. On these jacks, you'll see the maximum extension of the drop leg listed in the specs as well. Adding the screw travel and drop leg travel together will give you the total lift. The total lift listed above can help you determine how high this jack will be able to raise your trailer.

Easy installation, reasonable price, works great! Much to my surprise, our trailer had a 2.25" top hole and a 2" bottom hole. This jack fit fine. The lights are helpful.
by: Steve08/27/2023
I recieved the jack in a timely fashion and the box was destroyed (packing wasn't good) and was a bit worried but it didn't have a scratch on it and was very easy to install. Bolted right up!I really am happy with it and I would recommend it and etrailer!!

Great work! Had a customer with a tight time line that Alex made certain of a timely delivery.

Nice jack . Fit up on travel trailer was good did have to take 3/16 off the back of round mounting plate so it would not hit the battery box I did check with Ultra-fab and they got back to me the same day ,wanted to make sure this would not effect warranty . well built and quality was very good . So much better then my old jack .
by: John W09/15/2016
The three items we ordered arrived on time. The electric jack was easy to install, 3 bolts and 1 wire. Took less then an hour. It makes hitching and unhitching our Keystone Hideout much easier.
Customer service was very helpful when we called to add a third item to our order.
No Hassle!
by: Doug W08/03/2017
Easy install in 5 minutes, works great, excellent customer service, fast service and shipping. No more hand cranking for me.
by: Chris 06/20/2023
Lift came super quick from etrailer. Very easy to install since replacing older model of the same lift. Ultra-Fab should include wire and fuse needed for the positive wire -had to reuse old fuse!
by: Charles05/19/2022
Easy ordering, good tech support. Fast shipping. 30 minute install. Works great. Would recommend this item.

Working very good. Have only used it about 6 times so far. Great product.
by: Jimmy G.07/07/2016
The fit was flawless and it handles my Flagstaff Mac with ease. It is a pop-up and not a huge load, but it saves a 70 yr. old a lot of cranking. Install was a breeze. Love it when items are as described. 6 day delivery over a holiday long week-end. Thanks for the great service.
by: Biscuit Sims05/10/2021
Easy to install. I also replaced bolts with grade 8 bolts.
Ultra fab is a good product.
by: David02/18/2019
etrailer had the best price. Shipped to me in a few days. Took about 1 hour to convert from the 4th bad liepert smart jack. Works fast and easy. As I read on other reviews it is "wobbly" side to side compared to the old jack but rating are equal.
Put on my enclosed ATC car trailer. Have not yet loaded the car - I think that should only be done when "hooked up". Check with me in a few months after I have used it a bunch.

The Ultra-Fab power jack is great so far. This was a direct replacement for the stock original jack. Easy to install. This one has a fuse in-line as the original jack did not. I like that feature.

Unit was out of stock but I was willing to wait. Well it was delivered a lot sooner than I thought and was kept updated about delivery date.(no guessing). The jack installed easily and works as expected. I am very satisfied with the service and the product. Thank you etrailer!

Used the electric jack this past weekend. Really like it, glad we got it. Very easy to install. Will recommend this product to anyone wanting a easier way to hook up your TT.

Bought this one year ago and it died already. It is not one that I would recommend. We had to hand crank on several occasions. We bought something different and threw this one away. As for Etrailer, great company.
by: Kevin09/03/2018
Well I guess its been a year since purchasing the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack as per the email I received from etrailer. I have been very happy with the purchase, this is so much better than cranking a handle!! Installation was very easy too. I liked this one since it has a zerk fitting for lubing the jack where others didn't seem to have that. All in all, I would purchase this jack again and through etrailer.com too.

Worked as advertised. Easy installatio n.
by: Paul D.01/07/2014
The product was easy to install. I put the trailer on my truck hitch before I started. No need for impact tool to loosen the bolts on the manual jack. Your jack fit fine, even cleared the propane bottle cover, although I have to sqeeze a little to get to the light switch. My trailer is a 30' Keystone Hornet with slideout. Your jack sounded like it was working hard, but it kept raising. It's the 3500 lb model, and I didn't measure the tongue weight before I started. However, it was right at freezing outside, and my battery isn't new, but all went well. Plenty of travel, and I like the removeable foot. All in all, I'm a Happy Camper.

easy to install and one wire to connect. works great so far on my Pace American V-nose enclosed trailer with a couple snowmobiles on board

Very good, recently sold this trailer
by: Mike L.12/21/2016
Great product, was easy to install and wire up. Very durable, grease tip location on the tube very convenient. Cons ( would like to see a foot extension for the tube and a more durable cover for the grease tip, other than that its a thumps up for this product.
by: Dick W07/25/2019
Installs easily, works great. Be careful to shut off the up/down switch as soon as the jack reaches the end of its travel, otherwise you will blow a fuse.

Wonderful. Easy for the grandson to blow the fuse, but that is why the fuse is there.
by: Wayne Bullock08/28/2017
Great jack - haven't hooked up the electronics, but it's been great. The little rubber cover over the manual jack nut drive cracked, but I assume that is because I keep using it repeatedly (more than it was designed for). I wish it had a zerk fitting or two on the jack tube, just to keep it from seizing up in the future.
by: JimM09/05/2018
Low price but high quality. Works faster than most Jack's out there. My only concern is the length of the shaft. I need to use a 6 inch block under it. Works great. I now have 2 of them. One on my enclosed cargo trailer and one on my 26 ft travel trailer. Highly recommend. It

I drove 150 miles to a rv dealer to buy a electric tonge jack that they wanted over $350 for and bought this one from e trailer for a lot less then $200 and this one is a 3500# and the one at the rv place was 3000#,and the same brand,this a great place to get all your trailer and towing needs,i check prices of a lot of different items and e trailer beat everyone for the things I was looking at,i will be ordering a lot more.thankyou.

- Will Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack Fit 2013 Zinger Z-1 RV CamperThe outer tube diameter of the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, part # UF38-944017, measures 2 inches, and the mounting holes that are used to attach the plate of the jack fit 2 inch or 2-1/4 inch spacing. If the mounting platform of your 2013 Zinger Z-1 RV Camper has those dimensions then this jack will work for you. I have attached a video that shows how this jack is mounted and installed on a trailer you can check out.

Some other parts you may want to keep on hand are the Replacement 20-Amp Auto-Reset Circuit Breaker part # UF38-101238 and the Replacement Toggle Motor Switch part # UF38-75-1037.

The # UF38-944037 has a 7-way plug to power the unit so no other power is needed if you prefer.
view full answer... - Recommended Electric A-Frame Jack For 2005 Starcraft Travel TrailerThe electric jack I recommend for your A-frame 2005 Starcraft trailer is the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, part # UF38-944017. This jack has a lift capacity of 3,000-lbs and gives you 18-inches of lift. The jack also includes a 6-inch diameter footplate.
view full answer... - Replacement Powered Jack Recommendation for Keystone Springdale with Broken JackSince nearly all A-frame trailer jacks don't have replacement motors your best option will be to replace the entire jack. The LIppert # LC643589 Smart Jack is a good choice. It has all the features of other powered tongue jacks but also can be set to remember the uncoupled height and hitched height. No more cranking and waiting for the jack to get to the right height. I have included some demo links.
view full answer... - Replacement Electric A-Frame Jack with Protection from Over-ExtensionWe do offer better jacks that have built-in protection from over-extension. I think the best value for an A-frame tongue jack is the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR which is rated for 4500 pounds of tongue weight. This is 1000 pounds more than other models, and even though you may not need this much capacity, you will find that the jack motor runs quick and effortlessly. This will add years to its life. This jack also has a unique clutch that prevents damage from overextending or retracting...
view full answer... - Ultra Fab Powered A-Frame Jack Recommendation that Gets Powered by Trailer BatteryThe Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944037 is set up to be plugged into a vehicle 7-way whenever it is needed to power the jack. For basically the same jack that would be set up for wiring to a trailer battery you would want the part # UF38-944017 instead. This jack grounds through the mounting hardware and gets powered by the one black wire of the jack that would get run to your battery. Check out the install video I attached for more info.

They just call it the 3502. Otherwise it is the exact same jack, same components, capacity, lift, color, size, everything. The 38 is just part of the part number.

view full answer... - Can an Ultra-Fab Electric Trailer Jack that has Been Over Extended be RepairedThe way that the electric trailer jack # UF38-944017 works is using an ACME screw and a nut. The nut is fixed and the screw goes up and down in the nut. At the end of the screw the metal is twisted, smashed, or otherwise purposely cross threaded to prevent the screw from just coming out and the load dropping. If you try to raise a jack with this type of design too far it damages that nut and the screw. Those parts cannot be replaced. You will need to replace the whole jack. This is not...
view full answer... - Installation of Ultra-Fab Electric Trailer Jack on 2017 Keystone Cougar X-tra LiteYes. That is the correct wiring for the Ultra-Fab # UF38-944017 if you've got an on-board battery on your coach. If you've got no battery, you can wire this into a junction box by connecting the wire to the inline fuse and then connecting that to the 12v/auxiliary power post; you'll then want to make a connection to the frame of the trailer with the ground (black) wire for the best results. I've linked a review video where Randy does an installation of this jack that you can refer to,...

The tow vehicle 7-way's 12V feed is designed to provide a "trickle charge" to maintain a charged trailer battery while you're driving but not to charge a depleted battery or to operate a device like a powered tongue jack. That 12V feed is fine for operating trailer lights but not for a current-hungry motor....

Consider that your Forest River will certainly have less tongue weight than that, and it will be even...

It would then just plug into the Hopkins and be ready to use.

You will also want to make sure the negative post of the battery is grounded to the trailer frame so the circuit is complete. This type of jack will only require the power lead wire to be connected as it...

It is mounted on the outside of jack # UF38-944017 but should not need any persuasion to reset. If the jack is not powering on it could be that an overload or short still exists or something else in the electrical system from the power source to the jack is not working properly. You will also need to check the in line fuse. If it is blown the jack will not operate. If all the wiring is done correctly and...

view full answer... - Does Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 Have Enough Capacity for Use with WD SystemWhen it comes to jacks (and winches for that matter) we like to say that you can't have too much overkill. Higher capacity than what you actually need tends to improve the working lifespan of such products because they won't have to work nearly as hard. Its always a good idea to select a higher-capacity device and run it conservatively, well within its "comfort zone". The Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 will be fine for most loads as it has a 3500 pound capacity.
