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.

Jack works very well. Not fast but gets the job done. Unfortunately I can't lower my tailgate fully without hitting the jack. Tried to rotate the head as I saw some jacks allowed. This one won't allow that. Very satisfied otherwise. Used less than one full season so can't offer an opinion on durability.
by: Otto S.09/28/2016
Mounted quick and easy. Plenty of wire for electrical hook up. Lots of power even with a full load of water in the front tank. The only change I made to installation was longer bolts to accept washers and nuts to the bottom side of hitch. I didn't trust the taped holes in the thin hitch frame. This was no fault of the new jack. Still working strong. A back saver that's worth the money. I should have bought one years ago!

What a wonderful invention. Caution must be used when retracting. Too bad some kind of stop isnt used. But it sure works good!

Put this jack on the trailer tongue in less than an hour. Moves the tongue of a 29' 6500 lb travel trailer up and down easily. I did not find it particularly slow. Install tips: I used a two ton bottle jack and static jack stand to support the tongue while working. Check trailer negative grounding with a voltage tester, just to be sure you get a good circuit. I attached power cord via fuse directly to positive battery terminal and stowed the extra wire/fuse in the battery box. (My trailer has a power line and blade-fuse from the trailer's junction box for the previous jack but it had an occasional short so I didn't use it. If your trailer has a dependable powerline for a jack, use it.) I'm putting a 10L dry-sack over the powerhead to keep out rain, road dirt and bugs. An extra layer of protection never hurts. I hope this holds up better than the factory installed L*****t. I'll write a follow up review in a year or so. And as always, thanks etrailer for great service, great prices, and fast shipping.

I purchased 2 of these a year ago to replace a hand crank on a cargo trailer. I wanted to modify the tongue of a trailer where the crank was in the way of loading and unloading a work van. The push of a button, in this case two, is way easier and much faster than old school hand power. It worked out so well, I did a dump trailer as well. Then, a friends trailer. I might be starting a trend.
by: Paul R10/07/2017
Great service from etrailer.com. Ordered the jack and a Fastway e2 Trunion hitch on Saturday, and had them at my door the following Wednesday.
Got everything installed today and all works great. I did notice that even with proper torquing, the mounting plate on the jack bent a bit under load of my Flagstaff pop-up. Works great...but I'll have to keep an eye on that mount. Directions call for an underplate, which I don't have room for on my trailer tongue.

Product was conform to description, easy to install and work great, I completed installation in less than 30 minutes.

My Stromberg Carlson power jack is still working well. As for all my belongings I take good care of it, that should make it work for a long time I hope...
by: Scott06/22/2018
I had this jack on my last trailer and I liked it. It is nice that it has a level as part of the cover to get you close. My trailer is 5,500 lbs and this jack has no issues with lifting the tongue. I do not like the glass fuse and holder that comes with it. The same fuse holder failed on my last trailer. So when I ordered this one for my new camper I stopped by the auto parts store and got a good quality sealed blade fuse holder. I thought I had read that this did not come with the mounting bolts. It does. I used longer bolts with additional fender washers and lock nuts. Ordering from etrailer is the best. It was convenient, easy, and the price is really good.
by: Vern N07/29/2017
I ordered the Stromberg Carlson electric tongue jack from etrailer told them I needed it right away because we were traveling and mine had broke. They shipped it right away. I had it on the 3rd day I installed it and was back on the road. This is not the first time I have used etrailer and it will not be the last.
by: Christopher 05/26/2023
It works! It fit! The little bubble level on top doesn't seem to be accurate but I didn't buy it for the level anyway; price I think drove my decision.
by: Allen05/17/2019
Installed in minutes, holes lined up like they should. Just added a connection to wire and hooked it to battery and everything worked good. No more hand cranking and it looks good on the camper!
by: Steve02/08/2017
I can't review the electric trailer jack since it is winter and I won't be installing it for several months. But I can rate etrailer and the order speed. I ordered the jack on Sunday evening and it was delivered Wednesday morning. No problem there!

I love the jack, far less effort for a retiree and the manual jack was starting to feel like it was worn and might slip. I keep the manual jack in the trailer just in case but I had zero problems with the electric jack and used it dozens of times last summer.
by: Larry 09/17/2022
Installed easily and I chose to power it from my truck, which meant I only had to add an RV plug to match trailer connection. Minutes later it was operational and has performed perfectly for a year. Nice smooth operation and wintered well. Quite happy! A++
by: Mark M.04/28/2019
I installed this Stromberg Carlson electric jack about a year ago. Installation was very easy (I installed it while hitched to tow vehicle - don't use your stabilizers to hold your up your trailer weight). The jack worked great on several outings last year - great time (and back) saver when setting up. However, we just bought a bigger trailer (used) and I wanted to swap this with the factory electric jack on the new trailer. The dealer agreed it was a good jack but he wouldn't let me swap. Oh well, I'll probably be replacing that one with another Stromberg Carlson soon. Also, I found the best price here of all vendors when I initially shopped for it.
by: Troy07/05/2018
Well packaged.(bought brand "x" on another site first,arrived broken).Easy installation.Works great.I highly recommend this product.Makes hooking and unhooking much easier.I have bought several products from e.trailer,never disappointed.

I have used it a lot. Has never missed a beat.
by: Jeff 12/16/2022
The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is the fact that the description says it has 24" lift but the actual fact is an 18" lift with a 5" extension foot giving it a 23" lift total. Other than that it does exactly what it says and appears to be well built. ETrailer has always provided great delivery and service.
by: Mike M.03/17/2017
After a year of use, I am still very pleased with my electric Jack. It moves up and down at a good speed. It handles the 700 lbs of tongue weight of our travel trailer with no struggle. It is relatively attractive compared to some others. The white cover matches the propane bottle cover behind it. My only complaint is I wish the lights were a little brighter. They are better than fumbling with a flashlight in the pitch dark, but just not as bright as I had expected. All in all, I am very pleased and would buy another without any reservation.
by: Carl m07/28/2017
Easy took about 15 mins to install and test . kind of slow but will work fine like it came with a crank in case battery is dead .was shipped very fast

Put it on my trailer last year, used it twice camping last year and went out for the first time this year and it doesn't work!! Had to use the hand crank!!

The first step in troubleshooting is to check that the jack is receiving power from the trailer mounted battery, and to check the power connections and the battery ground to the trailer. Youll also want to make sure that the spot where the jack bolts to the trailer tongue isnt corroded, as corrosion will interfere with a good ground connection. The jack is covered by a 2 year warranty, so if the items I mentioned above check out okay, please contact our Customer Service folks at 800-298-8924.

Item is well packaged from factory for shipping. Received item quickly from warehouse. Time to install from opening package to lifting the camper was 8 minutes 30 seconds. It took 3 minutes to look at the fuzzy diagram on where the star nuts go when putting the three bolts back into the frame. Be sure to have a 10-12 gauge butt connector or something equal to your application, as no electrical connections are supplies. All in all, I would buy this again and will recommend this to others who might need to have an electrical jack replaced.
by: Cecilia04/08/2018
Love our jack! Lifting out trailer just got so much easier! Now if only the jack removed grease from the hitch ball!
by: Ronald 09/28/2018
The installation was easy and the new jack works very well. Better than the original.
The only problem - No wire connectors or fuse in the package. Had to buy some at local hardware.
Enjoyed the fast shipment.
Will be using this week on a fall trip to Vermont

This new jack has been smooth, quiet, strong and reliable after over a year of use. It was a welcome upgrade over the original jack.
by: Jc08/25/2017
Customer service is class A, quick delivery, and Installation was easy peazee. Took all of 15 minutes. Reused the bolts from the my old hand crank jack, had to crimp on a battery loop type connector , wire came striped an with a fuse connected. So, after a quick crimp I connected it to the positive lead and let it jack up an down. Now, I've read that the jack is slow, well so am I. I'm a 66 years young female, in no rush, and it's way better that me doing the hand crank dance.

- Is There A Difference In Power Between Two 6v Batteries Versus One 12v Battery When Powering A JackIt won't make a difference versus a single 12v battery but you will need to have your 6v batteries will need to be wired in series to get the voltage up to 12v to power the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555. The only difference you may see is in how many times the battery can power the lift depending on the amp hour rating between the different batteries. Wired in series the voltage increases but the amp hour rating will remain the same. Wired in parallel the voltage...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Electric Trailer Jack that Doesnt work When Not Connected to a Tow VehicleThe problem is most likely the ground circuit for the jack. Since most trailers ground to the tow vehicle it sounds like the jack isn't able to ground properly when you are trying to power it with just your trailer. The jack grounds through it's mounting hardware to the trailer frame. If the trailer isn't grounding to a vehicle like when it is connected to your vehicle it won't work.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Electric Camper Tongue Trailer Jack that Just Clicks Instead of Raising or LoweringBefore you replace the jack make sure the jack is grounded properly to the frame of your trailer, also check to make sure the main ground of your trailer connector is attached to a clean metal surface. Also check to make sure the 12 volt battery you are using has a good charge as it sounds like the jack isn't able to get enough amperage to operate when under a load. The jack sounds like it's making the same sound a car starter will make when the battery is either dead or the battery terminals...
view full answer... - Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3500 Recommendation for a 2013 Jayco CamperThe Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 that you referenced has a 3,500 lb lifting capacity. That would be more than enough capacity to lift the tongue weight of your 2013 Jayco Camper that weighs a total of 3,500 lbs. The tongue weight on your camper is probably around 350 lbs. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Gauge of Wire Used With Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame JackYou can use 10 Gauge Primary Wire # 10-1-1 to ground to your trailer chassis. The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555 and # JET-3755 uses a 10-gauge power wire as well so if you need extra wire for the jack to hook up to your battery you can use 10 Gauge Primary Wire # 10-1-1 and connect it to the positive terminal with Ring Terminal # DW05705-1.
view full answer... - Powered Trailer Jack Recommendation for Best Ground Clearance Under Trailer FrameI wouldn't let the higher capacity of the Lippert Jack part # JET-3555 deter you from using it. Having more capacity than needed for a trailer jack is actually a good thing as it will allow the jack to last longer and operate quicker. It's retracted bracket height is 6-3/4 inches so it would work well for you in that regard plus it's priced great so it really would be your best option.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555 That Stopped WorkingMost likely you blew a fuse in your Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555. Check the yellow fuse holder that is on the main power wire of the jack as that is most likely the issue. This jack is somewhat known for being easier to blow fuses than other jacks.
view full answer... - How to Wire the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Trailer Tongue Jack, # JET-3555The Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack, # JET-3555, runs off a 12 volt battery. The best source for power would be from a 12 volt battery (like a car battery) mounted on the trailer. If you have a separate battery mounted on the trailer, a 7-Way trailer connectors 12 volt circuit can be used to maintain (but not up charge) that battery.
view full answer... - Does the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3500 Have to Face ForwardYes, you can install the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 that you referenced with the switch side facing any direction. Having the switches be facing backwards or to the side would allow more tail gate clearance.
view full answer... - Replacement A-Frame Jack Recommendation for a 2011 Keystone Passport Ultra LiteThe Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 that you referenced was designed to fit basically all a-frame trailers. Since yours had an a-frame powered jack on it already this would work well as a replacement for it. This jack has a 3,500 lb lifting capacity which would be more than enough. Check out the review video I attached as well. For a black version similar to this you would want the part # JET-3755.
view full answer... - What Do the Two Switches on the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3500 ControlThere are two switches on the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 that you referenced. One is for the light and one is for raising and lowering the jack. Check out the review video I attached as well.

- Can An A-Frame Trailer Jack Be Wired To The 7-Pole Cable Yes, it is possible to wire your Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555 into the 7-way. There isn't much room inside of the 7-pole plug so the easiest way to power your jack from the 7-pole would be to wire it to the 12v power in your trailer's junction box. If you follow the 7-way cable along the frame of the trailer you'll see some sort of box where the wires from the cable will run and connect to the wires for your trailer's lighting and brakes. A lot of the trailers that...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting JET-3500 Jack that Wont Extend/Retract But Light Still WorksSince the jack grounds through the mounting assembly the first thing I would do is check the condition of the main ground of the trailer and for corrosion near the mounting assembly and clean as necessary. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. An inadequate ground would allow the light to still work but could prevent it from...
view full answer... - How Does the Stromberg-Carlson Electric Jack Wire for InstallationTypically these powered jacks would get their power from a trailer mounted battery that is maintained via the 7-Way on the truck. The truck would keep the battery topped off when towing down the road and the jack would pull the amperage it needs from the trailer battery. So yes, you would attach this Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 to the positive side of the battery for installation.
view full answer... - Maximum Traveling Height of the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3500If the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 is lifting to it's maximum travel distance of 18 inches then the jack is working fine and you just have too tall of a setup for this jack to work ideally for. Putting down a FloTool Jack Stand part # FT11933MI would take up some of this room. If it's stopping short then there is an internal problem. If internal components were to fail, replacement of the jack is the only option.
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Tongue Jack for 2006 Gulfstream Cavalier Travel TrailerA 3500 lbs electric tongue jack would be a good fit for your 6200 lbs 2006 Gulfstream Cavalier travel trailer. Based on your trailer weighing 7000 pounds loaded you will have an approximate tongue weight of 700 pounds. I would recommend the Stromberg Carlson # JET-3555 (white) or # JET-3755 (black) as they are rated at 3,500 lbs. I have also included an FAQ for you too. One item I highly recommend is the Ultra-Fab Protective Cover # UF38-944020. With the electric jack being out in the...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting A-Frame Jack That Has Limited Travel With Electric But Works ManuallyYou said you are able to raise or lower the # JET-3555 with the hand crank so that rules out the gears or the motor being seized. My contact at Stromberg-Carlson told me they think there may be an intermittent problem with the wiring like a ground. Check the ground connection and make sure it is attached securely to a clean bare metal surface and also check for any damaged wire. You can also pull the cover off the jack and inspect the wiring and any other parts to see if you can find...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Powered Trailer JackHow exactly did you install the jack? There's two ways to install a powered jack. The preferred method is to connect the power wire to the positive terminal of a trailer mounted battery. You'll want to make sure the connection at the battery isn't corroded. Check that the metal on the trailer tongue where the jack attaches isn't corroded. This can prevent a good ground connection. If you're already using a trailer mounted battery, make sure it's charged up. The other method is to connect...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Electric Tongue Jack That Lights Up But Won’t Extend or RetractYour power issue could be due to one or more of a number of potential causes. These could include loose/corroded battery cables, batteries that need a good long charge with an AC-powered charger like # CTEK56353 to top them off, batteries that can no longer take a full charge due to age or a bad ground at the jack mounting plate. Very often the cause for this kind of issue is the ground between the jack mounting plate and the mating surface on the trailer. Water and dirt can find their...

- Total Height of the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Jack JET-3500 When Extended Bracket to FootThe lifting height the # JET-3555 is capable of is 18 inches. When the jack is fully retracted it is 10-3/8 from jack foot to bottom of mounting bracket. So when it is fully extended it would be 28-3/8 inches from the jack foot to the bottom of the mounting bracket. Since you need 26 inches this would work well.
view full answer... - Can the Powered A-Frame Jack JET-3555 Be Powered by Parallel Trailer BatteriesYour batteries are run in parallel and the Powered A-Frame Jack part # JET-3555 can be wired to them and still allow you to take advantage of the extended battery life of having batteries set up like this. You would just need to run the power wire of the # JET-3555 to the main output power wire of your paralleled battery and since this jack grounds through the mounting hardware you would be good to go once installed.
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Trailer Jack Compatible with Coachmen Clipper 17BHS CouplerThe Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555 has the larger outer tube diameter as you mentioned. I recommend using a rotary tool like a Dremal to enlarge that hole. Another great option is the Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack- 22" Lift - 4,000 lbs # BD500199. This has an outer diameter of 2-1/4 inches which is even slightly larger and this is actually the more standard measurement for most jacks. You will need the rotary tool to enlarge the hole for this one as well.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting New Trailer Jack That Doesn't Operate but the Lights Work FineIf you are able to operate the lights on your electric trailer jack, like the Stromberg Carlson # JET-3555, but not the jack itself then you either have a battery that isn't fully charged or the jack itself doesn't have a good ground. The lights on a jack don't draw much power but the operation of the jack does. Check either the ground wire or your mounting hardware (however your jack grounds) to make sure that your jack has a good, solid, clean connection. If it does then you will need...
view full answer... - Stromberg Carlson Trailer Jack # JET-3500 Recommendation To Help Install Spring BarsYes, this Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 that you referenced would be adequate to lift your trailer and truck enough to install the spring (sway) bars of your weight distribution system. Usually when we recommend a jack for a trailer we say that as long as the jack is rated to lift half of the weight of the trailer it will work well. However, since you will be lifting the rear of your truck also you would need a little extra capacity, so the 3,500 lb capacity of the # JET-3500...

Worked well all season. The jack is covered while in storage. No issues using it after its been in storage. I have a solar battery tender so theres plenty of power to get it out of storage.
