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.

This is the second one of these we've owned. Works real good, a bit of over kill. The thing could probably lift the whole trailer.
by: Don 04/18/2024
It installed very easy. For a 2500lbs jack, it seems a little light weight. It does lift the trailer but seems kinda wobbly because the post size is so small. Other than that it works as advertised. Thank you for getting it to me so fast.
by: Ron Williams05/23/2017
I just installed my new JET-2500 trailer tongue jack in less than 15 minutes. The light and extend/retract work great. I was not sure if an adjustable drop foot is available for more length but do not think it is needed.
This is second purchase, first being Equalizer hitch system which is also even better with electric jack.
Etrailer exceeds customer expectations by follow up email and definite concern to keep their customers satisfied.
Great Company!
Thank-You

Mounted on a 2012 Crossroads Z-1 251BH. Wokrs great!! No more hand cranking.
by: Patricia Cook06/16/2016
Took only about 5 mins to hook up, husband loves it. No more hand cranking when the old one went out. Great product!!! Camper goes up and down easily by pushing a button!! Priced just right...
by: Larry04/26/2016
Overall, it is a great product. I really like not having to crank the trailer tongue up and down by hand and it works very well.
One suggestion for Stromberg-Carlson: Turn the motor/gear assembly so it faces away from the front of the trailer, but leave the light to shine on the hitch assembly, etc. The tongue of my trailer is short enough that the hatch on my Traverse cannot be opened when the trailer is hitched. Might apply to a pick up tailgate, too.

Same comments as I made a year ago. Overall, it is a good product.
by: stu08/01/2013
Installation of the the Jet-2500 trailer tongue jack went smoothly. Quality looks good and instructions very straightforward. I hooked up the trailer to my Ford F-150 to find out I can't open the tailgate while hooked up to the truck. I removed the three mounting bolts and tried to turn the jack 90 degrees but the bolt holes don't align now. So I put it back where it belongs and will just have to work around not being able to lower my tail gate while the trailer is hooked up.......

I have the same problem have you been able to resolve it? I cant believe they made a unit with such a large head and didnt make it so it could be rotated!
by: Rusty C07/29/2013
I have a buddy that recommended an electric jack for my new trailer
He was right, made the hookup so much easier. The price was half of the one from my dealer. And the response for my order was unbelievable, I ordered the jack on Wed evening about 6 o'clock and got it the next day before 4 PM.

Love the jack, hate to think what I would have to do without it. Im getting older and the thought of cranking the front of my trailer up or down makes me cringe. Thanks again Rusty
by: Rob T07/11/2015
I spent all of 7 minutes pulling off the old crank lift and bolting this baby onto our Jayco Heritage camping trailer . I already love pressing a button instead of my old beat-up crank. The LED throws off a lot of light - may come in real handy. Looking forward to using it in two weeks when we go camping.

Thanks for the follow up, I love this product more every time I get to use it. Just went camping this weekend and it is really nice to be able to press the button to lift or lower.T hanks again, you guys rock.!!

This jack works fine with my Safari Condo Alto F1743 trailer, which only weighs 2,300 lbs loaded. An electric tongue jack is a wonderful convenience to have. And I really like the built-in bubble level, it’s very handy to have and is all I need to ensure that the trailer is level in both directions.
I have had no problems with it except one odd thing: a few months ago as I was about to prepare to level the trailer at my campsite, I looked at the bubble level and...there was no bubble. I called my spouse over and she couldn’t see it either. The trailer was already fairly level; the bubble should be visible. I jiggled the head of the jack, but could not make it appear.
I assumed that the fluid had leaked out of the level, so I went online and ordered a replacement level from e.trailer.com, $16, Item # 2500-3755E, “Replacement Manual Override Cover with Level ”. No big deal. I was back home in a day or two, parked my trailer in my driveway and forgot about it until the replacement part arrived several days later. I went out to the trailer and went to remove the “override cover” on my jack and...there was the bubble, plain as day. I called my spouse out to see it; we were both so surprised! There did not appear to be anything wrong with it. So I did not replace it.
We still can’t figure out how/why the bubble disappeared and then came back. My spouse noted that the day it disappeared it was a “super hot day” but we can’t recall what the air temp was, and I don’t remember it being particularly hot. The trailer was in full sun, which it normally is at our house, near San Francisco, but we don’t now recall where we were camping in California.
Regardless, I highly recommend this tongue jack if you have a small lightweight trailer. Of course Stromberg makes more powerful units for bigger trailers.

I can sum this Jack up in two words....
SWEAT FREE!!!!!!!

Jack works really well doesn’t have a huge amp draw so the battery doesn’t take a big hit if you have to move it up-and-down installation was easy the light for the hitch is nice but it just doesn’t put out much light at all that could use a little boost from a really good LED bulb I would buy it again if I needed it.

This has been an overall great experience dealing with etrailer.com. The quality of this jack seems to be very good. It took me all of 15 minutes to install.(I was replacing another power tongue jack, so that may have sped up the process a bit) Very easy install, the jack was ready to install right out of the box. I installed this on my 10' utility trailer which gets quite a lot of use so the power jack is a life saver. I had purchased another power jack from a local discount tool store(a move I sorely regret) and had I seen this jack on etrailer's site then, I wouldn't have gone there. The price here is a few dollars more, but the quality of this product is far better hands down. I know I'll be much happier with this product than I was with the "deal" I got from the other store. My old jack struggled to lift my trailer from day 1 but this one travels up and down with ease. So far I'm very pleased with this jack.

Still working great! I love it. Makes life simple.
by: Ed G05/24/2019
This jack has worked perfectly for the past year. It raises and lowers my RPOD effortlessly, especially useful since I have a weight distribution hitch that requires two cycles to hook everything up. I and my back would recommend this without reservations.
by: Daryl Stanberry05/31/2013
I purchased this product for a completely off the wall reason, i try to make or modify differant things to fit the need at the time. this jack was used as a lifting device, for a power chair carrier. This use may be a little unusual but my grandfather was a blacksmith,and he taught me to build things to work as needed not to spend a lot of money to get what everyone else says is best. I shopped around for a power lift, and did not care fot the materials or the designs on most,and did not like the price of the really well built models. Your jack is rated heavy enough and is working fine for this purpose, with minor mounting modifacations, as of this time I am trying to redesign a manual cherry-picker and could possibly use another one of your products on that project. Your web site made it easy to find what I needed and the quality seems to be very good,also thank you for the quick delivery time.
by: Pete L12/08/2013
I have not as yet installed the jack.....however the customer service regarding the purchasing and delivery of the jack was outstanding. Communication with etrailer and servicing of the order was the best that I have ever experienced with an on-line company. Delivery was within a few days of my order on-line. I will definitely consider etrailer first when I shop for parts and accessories again.....Pete

My Stromberg Carlson Tongue Jack was destroyed when the trailer became unhitched on the freeway. I contacted Etrailer who had it in stock and shipped the same day that I ordered. Throughout the shipping I was informed of it's progress and they delivered the day they said it would. Etrailer prices are excellent as is their handling.
by: Bella s Gelato Shoppe03/27/2014
The customer service from etrailer is amazing. Every order I place they are communicating with me all the way through until delivery. This time my sales rep was CarlaM. She took care of the all the way through with follow up emails to make sure everything went great. Haven't installed the jack yet, but will send a photo when installed.
Thanks etrailer and Carla.

Great shipping & communication from etrailer. Removed manual jack and installed this one in less than 15 mins. without using any directions. Works great and what a difference it makes!

The electric jack was easy to install, and works perfectly. I would
recommend this product to anyone wanting to replace their hand crank jack.
by: Mark G.03/31/2015
Now that it is installed and tested, I love this product. It was very easy to install and works as advertised.
The only reason I don't give it an excellent rating is because several screws on the case were obviously (visually) not tight when I opened the box. Not sure if this is an anomaly but their quality control definitely should have caught it.
by: Peter05/22/2019
Fitted to my camper without an problems, see picture.
Thie review also covers the two Jacks bought at the same time, also
shown fitted to the front of my camper.
Nice sturdy construction.
For reference I have a Gulfstream Ameri-Lite 14RBC.

- A Frame Jack Recommendation for 28 Ft Keystone SpringdaleThe Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack, # JET-2500, has a lift capacity of 2,500 pounds. This jack will be a great addition to your 28 foot Keystone Springdale as long as it's tongue weight does not exceed the 2,500 pound capacity. I spoke with my contact at Stromberg Carlson and confirmed that the mounting bolt holes on the jack are approximately 3 inches apart.
view full answer... - Can 7-Way Operate Powered Trailer Tongue Jack if Trailer Battery is DeadA powered trailer tongue jack like the Stromberg Carlson Camper Jack # JET-2500 is best wired to a dedicated battery on the trailer. If the battery is dead then the trailer's 7-way connector won't be able to deliver enough current to operate the jack. A 7-way 12V circuit is intended to deliver a small maintenance charge to a trailer battery that is in good shape or to pass enough juice for a camper dome light for example, but not to power a trailer jack. The vehicle's 12V feed on the 7-way...

It is best to use a 6-point 7/16" socket with the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-2500. You are able to use a 12-point as well but the 6-point is less likely to damage or round off the jacks manual crank point. The Handle # SC94VR uses a 6-point for this reason as well.

These measurements were taken here by another Expert recently. The outer tube is 2 inches in diameter and the inner tube is 1-3/4 inches in diameter. The bracket to mount the jack uses a standard A-frame pattern.

- Recommended Trailer Jack for a Jayco Jay Flight 174BH Travel TrailerIn order to find out a jack for your Jayco, you're going to need to know what your trailer's tongue weight is and pick a jack that can support that weight rating. Since your Jayco has a GVWR of 3,950 lbs (and tongue weight is 10-15% of the GVWR), that puts your range at 395-592 lbs tongue weight roughly. If you actually know your tongue weight that would be the best case, but since we don't at the moment this'll work too. So with that said, the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue...

The first method which is the preferred method would be to hook the power wire up to the positive battery terminal on the trailer battery if present. If a trailer battery is not present then you will need to use the tow vehicle's battery via a 7-way trailer plug. On the 7-way trailer plug there will be a terminal for 12 volt power which is fed directly from the...

- Is Fastway Power Trailer Jack Flip-Foot Compatible with Stromberg-Carlson Electric Jack # JET-2500Although the tube diameters of these two power jacks are similar, 2-1/4 and 2-3/16 inches, we do not recommend trying to adapt the flip-foot mechanism from the Fastway Power Trailer Jack to the Stromberg-Carlson # JET-2500. These parts are not intended for use with one another, so for safety considerations we cannot recommend that any of their components be mixed.

Normally trailers with powered jacks have an auxiliary battery that is used to power accessories. If there is not a separate battery on your trailer, you could power the jack from the 12-volt power source in your 7-pin trailer connector. Here is how you would wire it to your 7-pin connector: On the 7-pin connector that is on your tow vehicle there should be a red or black wire that...

- Recommended Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack for a 2010 Keystone Hornet M-32 RLSS Travel TrailerThe electric a-frame trailer jack I recommend for your 2010 Keystone Hornet M-32 RLSS Travel Trailer is the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack part # JET-2500. According to my research, you trailer should have a tongue weigh between 800 - 1,200 lbs. The Stromberg Carlson jack has a capacity of 2,500 lb therefore would be more than capable of handling the weight of your trailer. It is also always a good idea to choose a jack that is rated for more weight than the trailer as this...
view full answer... - Does Weight Capacity on A-Frame Trailer Jack Refer to Tongue Weight or Trailer WeightThe 2500 lbs reference on the Stromberg-Carlson electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-2500 is the tongue weight of your trailer. As long as your trailer's tongue weight is less than 2500 lbs, then this jack will work well. The 2500 figure is the maximum amount of weight the jack will lift. Since the jack is on the trailer tongue, the jack will not lift the entire weight of the trailer, just the tongue weight. Tongue weight is the downward pressure that the coupler places on the hitch ball....

- A-Frame Mounted Trailer Jack That Has a Front Manual Crank and Electric OptionSince all of our electric tongue jacks like the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-2500 have the access holes for the manual crank handles on top of the jack, I recommend the Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack # TV54FR. This jack has a round mounting plate for the triangular A-Frame mounting holes on your trailer. While it is a manual jack the handle can be removed and the Drill Attachment # TVDA that comes with the jack allows you to use a 18 volt or larger cordless drill...

Under load, the motor draws 24-25 amps and the motor is fed by a 12 gauge wire. The best practice is to power the jack via a trailer mounted battery. You can use the 12-volt accessory circuit from the 7-way to maintain the battery, but it cannot charge a depleted battery. Using the accessory pin on the 7-way to directly power the jack can be problematic because of the long run from the vehicle battery. Drawing the...

This jack offers up to 18" of lift and has a 2,500 lb capacity. The 2,500 lb capacity will be more than enough for your trailer.

This jack has the capabilities to lift up to 4,000-lbs of tongue weight, which is plenty for your trailer. While this jack will work for you, I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-2500. This jack is going to be closer to your tongue weight, while still offering plenty of remaining capacity.

For example if the trailer weighs 5,000 pounds then the tongue weight could be 500 pounds to 750 pounds. I could look up the information on the trailer if I knew the year but there is likely a plate on the tongue that has the gross trailer weight. It is probably also in the literature that came with the trailer. The electric trailer jack # JET-2500 has a capacity of 2,500 pounds. The tongue...

The rear of the head on the jack only sticks out around 1-1/2" from the tube (it sticks out much more prominently in the front- roughly 4-1/2"), so it will butt right up against the propane tank cover, but it will fit.

But it is not designed to be submerged. The switches are water resistant but not water proof. For something to be considered as water proof it has to be able to be submerged under water for a certain period of time and still operate like normal.

This jack has a 2" diameter outer tube. Most jacks like the Jack # EJ-3520-BBX have a 2-1/4" outer diameter tube.
