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!!
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!

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: Biscuit Sims05/10/2021
Easy to install. I also replaced bolts with grade 8 bolts.
Ultra fab is a good product.
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: Doug W08/03/2017
Easy install in 5 minutes, works great, excellent customer service, fast service and shipping. No more hand cranking for me.

Working very good. Have only used it about 6 times so far. Great product.
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.
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: 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.

doing fine
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.
by: Johnny C.04/01/2015
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.

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: Carl J. N.Y.06/22/2014
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!

still going strong!
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.

Worked as advertised. Easy installatio n.
by: chuck f.03/17/2016
Just what I expected from an Ultra-Fab product. I have bought this same jack for another application and was pleased with it and the same with this one.
This application I had to drill all the holes needed as the trailer did not have tongue jack. It was a simple drill with all the different hole combination on the jacks mounting pad. Works and looks great!!!

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: 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.

This unit was purchased to replace an UltraFab that I bought in 2007; that would mean my first unit lasted over 12 years. The old unit was still running, but the motor had a couple of dead spots and I got tired of bumping it to get it moving. I consider anything electrical that sits outside for this long, and still technically works, pretty decent quality.
The new unit looks very similar to the old one, except the lights are now LED and there is a grease hole on the shaft. The addition of a grease point is great because my old unit could not be easily greased (thus, never was). This should extend the life of the new unit.
Installation was easy, except the unit would not power up reliably. The issue appears to be the fuse holder supplied with the kit. The fuse was too loose in the holder and the power connection was weak. To solve the problem (I hope) I took the fuse holder apart and stretched the internal spring. This seemed to fix the problem.
I hope this unit gives me the service my last one did. I bet it will.
by: kenny d05/25/2015
Jack installed easy and is great for my heavy toy hauler. The light will be great for unhooking at my favourite camping spot. The included fuse link was perfect for a safe install. I used a heat shrink butt connector and heat shrink tubing over a ring terminal for my connections.
by: Bill T.08/09/2015
$100.00 less than local C.W. wanted for same item.
10 minutes to install. Only needed $0.75 in line joint and spade to install.
Replaced Lippert jack that came on trailer.
More lifting power than factory jack.
Works great.

- Determining the Correct Electric Jack for Jayco 22FB TrailerThere are no obvious cons to having an electric jack as opposed to a manual jack and most people prefer an electric jack due to its ease of use. As for what electric jack you need for your Jayco 22FB, that is going to depend on the diameter of the jack hole; it will need to accept the outer tube diameter of the jack. For example, the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 has a 2" outer tube diameter, the etrailer Electric Jack # EJ-3520-BBX has a 2-1/4" outer tube diameter and...
view full answer... - Where Does the In Line Fuse Holder Get Installed on Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Trailer JackOn the Ultra-Fab trailer jack # UF38-944017 the in line fuse holder will be cut in half and spliced in along the power wire. Ultra-Fab makes the following statement: The Fuse Holder can be installed by means of either crimping or soldering the connections. For convenience the Fuse Holder should be installed near the power source. Cut red wire in half, connect one end to the end of the black wire from the jack and connect the other end of the red wire to the positive post of the battery.

- Recommended Power A-Frame Jack For Travel Trailer With 770lb Tongue Weight RatingFor your travel trailer with 770lbs tongue weight and a weight distribution hitch being towed by your 2007 Dodge Ram I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 24" Lift - 3,500 lbs - White Item # JET-3555.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting an Electric Jack that Won't Work Unless It is The Only Circuit Drawing PowerWithout knowing exactly what your electric hitch is I am pretty sure the problem you are experiencing is due to the circuit being overdrawn. It sounds like when you power both the electric hitch and your electric jack the power circuit is being asked to draw more than it is capable of and the jack is not able to function until you reduce the draw on the circuit. Otherwise you can check to make sure the jack is grounding properly.
view full answer... - Availability of Electric Trailer Jack with 2 inch Outer DiameterHey Larry, Ultra Fab makes an electric A-frame jack that has a 2 inch outer tube diameter like with the part # UF38-944017.
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.

You can apply enough grease with two pumps from a standard grease gun. To grease the gears, you will need to first remove the fuse from the fuse holder. Next, remove the gear cover via 4 phillips screws to expose the gears. Then, grease the gears using chassis lube and reinstall the cover....
view full answer... - Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack Wont Extend But RetractsIt sounds like the issue is in the switch or the wiring of your Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack - 18" Lift - 3,500 lbs # UF38-944017. Since it retracts, we know the motor is working in one direction. These motors have a polarity so power on one wire runs the motor in one direction and power in on the other wire runs the motor in the other direction. I suggest removing the switch and connecting the wires manually to power individually. It it extends, the switch is bad. If not, the wiring...

- Will Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack UF38-944017 Fit 3-Inch Center to Center Mounting Hole SpacingI went to our warehouse to measure this jack's mounting flange and it will absolutely be compatible with the 3-inch center-to-center hole spacing on your A-frame trailer. The Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 uses the industry-standard mounting hole spacing found on A-frame trailers. The oval mounting holes simplify installation by providing a bit of wiggle room for the slight potential variances from trailer to trailer.
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... - Replacement 2 Inch Round Electric A-Frame Trailer JackWe do have a few electric A-frame jacks with a 2 inch diameter outer tube: Stromberg Carlson # JET-2500 rated for 2,500 pounds. Ultra-Fab # UF38-944017 rated for 3,500 pounds. Ultra-Fab # UF38-944037 rated for 3,500 pounds. This jack also includes a 7-way trailer connector Ultra-Fab # UF38-944016 rated for 4,000 pounds. Each jack offers 18 inches of lift. I've also attached videos of each one for you.
view full answer... - Is There a Replacement Circuit Breaker Available for the Ultra-Fab UF38-944017 Jack?We do indeed have replacement 20-Amp circuit breakers, like the Pollak Circuit Breaker - Cycling/Automatic Reset - 20 Amp - Straight Mount Bracket # PK54520, but the Auto-Reset Circuit Breaker for Ultra-Fab 3,500-lb Electric A-Frame Jack UF38-101238 is no longer available, unfortunately. Though this will not be a direct replacement available from Ultra-Fab, it will definitely work with your # UF38-944017.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting LED Light On Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack UF38-944017 Not Turning OffThe LED Lights on your Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 are controlled via a switch on the back of the head which you can see at the 1:40 minute mark of the included video, and will stay on as long as that switch as on. I recommend double checking that you have the switch on the off position, and if you do you will need to remove the toggle switch on the back to check for any loose wires or corrosion causing it to not turn off. I included a video of the # UF38-944017 for...
view full answer... - Manual Crank Operation for Ultra Fab Powered A-Frame JackBased on the picture you submitted you have an Ultra Fab jack like part # UF38-944017. Which takes a 9/16 deep well socket for a manual override. You would just need that socket and a ratchet and you would have everything you would need to manually crank your jack. There isn't a crank like the part you referenced available.

- Troubleshooting Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack UF38-944017 Not Lowering Unless Weight Is AddedBased on the description you provided of the issue you are having with your Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 it sounds like the gears inside are worn and require the extra pressure for them to be engaged. Unfortunately the gears are not available as replacement parts, so the most cost effective option would be to just keep placing your foot on the jack to lower it. The only other option would be replacing it with another # UF38-944017. I included a video of the # UF38-944017...

You will need to remove the Braber BE-130 Jack. The Trailer Valet, # TV94FR has an outer tube diameter of 2-1/4". My suggestion is to measure the out tube on your currently installed Braber Jack and you will most likely find it to be the same diameter. Please note the linked product review and install video below, jump to the install portion at the 7 minute mark. As long as that tube...
view full answer... - What is Needed to Warranty an Ultra-Fab UF38-944017? The warranty for the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 does not actually need registration. All you will need to do is keep your bill of sale. This will be what needs to be referenced if you need to use the warranty.
view full answer... - Hole Spacing On Mounting Plate For Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack You are correct. The 3 inches you measure is the standard hole spacing for A-frame mounted jacks. The description is describing the outer tube diameter and is not describing the slotted holes on the mounting plate. The 3 inches you have for hole spacing would work well with this jack.

The most common issue we see is a bad ground so be sure to sand down the surface that the jack is grounded to and then use new hardware when reinstalling. If this does not work then you will want to lower the jack manually to make sure none of the internal components are damaged. If all is good with the ground and internal components then you will need to test power going to and from the extend/retract switch as well...

- Retracted Height of Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack JET-3555Based on a review of our manufacturer specs the shortest retracted length among the electric a-frame jacks we offer comes from the 3500-lb-rated Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555. Since it can happen that a manufacturer may alter product dimensions slightly between production runs, I went to our warehouse and measured one of these jacks myself so that I could be absolutely certain of the retracted length dimension of the # JET-3555.
