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.

I was extremely impressed with the recent technical and customer support from etrailer. Over the weekend, they answered my questions to select the appropriate replacement electric jack for my Airstream. Also, when there was a shipping delay (not etrailer’s fault), Rose provided prompt responses and professional support. I will continue to use etrailer for my RV needs.
by: Bobby O.05/13/2024
Definitely has the power I need however I can't open my tailgate when my camper is hooked up. 5 stars for power.
by: Kyle 10/22/2022
Works flawlessly. Maybe the only thing I could complain about is it is slower than I think it could be. Along with the side lights could always be brighter. Works great, install kit is awesome, and it works without a stutter.

Great. Not as quick as I expected.
by: Havasulew10/24/2022
Had been contemplating this purchase/install for a couple of years. Finally bit the bullet. Purchase was simple. Shipping was a day late in arriving, not a real issue, because I live in a rural area. Shipping delays are expected.
Installation was very straight forward, remove three bolts, replace three bolts. That was all there was as far as the mechanical installation. For the electrical portion I elected to splice into the battery power wire that is part of the 7-wire electric cable on the trailer, in lieu of running a dedicated #10 wire direct from the trailer battery.
The jack seems to operate just fine, as anticipated. I have run the jack a number of times over the last few days without issue.
Why not a 5 star review, just haven't owned it long enough nor operated the jack enough. Ask me in 5 years.

Absolutely wonderful. I would never have another horse trailer without a Stromberg Carlson Trailer Jack 5000.

I own 10 trailers for business, I have used many electric tongue jacks. This one stands up to the abuse and time in the weather. Recommend this unit to anyone wanting a reliable electric tongue jack. It is not fast, but it is strong
by: Ron12/08/2022
It was easy to install and has power to spare. I installed it on a 6000 lb travel trailer that requires the truck to be lifted to easily remove the weight distribution bars. My old jack struggled with the weight. Not this one. Lots of power. It's a simple jack. No memory functions, no auto retract feature. Just two buttons. One to raise and lower the front of the trailer, and one for the lights. My issues are that the lights are essentially worthless. They don't produce much light and being on the side of the unit, they aren't aimed where you need them to be. Also, you have to buy their kit to have a place to hang the chains and the cord or, buy a cover that allows you to do the same. I recommend you buy the cover by the way. Solid buy recommendation
by: Marilyn12/29/2022
This was a complete gamechanger for us. We formerly had a power jack rated for 2500 lbs. Every time I had to raise it, the whole trailer swayed. It also didn't have the adjustable base, so the height was restricted. Moving up to this jack means no more sway and the option for an additional 5 inches of height. Installation was super simple, as well. Thank you, etrailer, for making it so I no longer live in terror of raising my jack.
by: Jerry09/06/2023
Trailer jack was defective. etrailer.com passed the buck to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was not very receptive and expected me to repair the jack. I purchased a new one and shouldn't have to try to figure out why it wasn't working. I want a new one and should get it from etrailer since I purchased it from them.

It is getting slower and slower to lift the trailer. Is there anything that needs lubricants?
Mike L.
11/15/2023
@Grant The only lubrication needed is the inner jack tube. Stromberg Carlson recommends fully extending the jack which fully exposes the inner tube. Thoroughly clean the tube then lubricate it with a thin coat of grease or a silicone spray lubricant. As far as the jack operating slowly, be sure the battery is fully charged and full power is reaching the jack. Also, the jack picks up its ground connection via its attachment to the trailer tongue. Make sure this connection is secure and not corroded. Hope that helps!

Getting slower in lifting the trailer
Mike L.
11/18/2023
@Grant Make sure the battery is fully charged and the jack is getting a full 12-volts. The jack gets its ground connection via its connection to the trailer tongue, so make sure the connection point between the jack and trailer tongue isn't corroded.
by: Glen02/19/2023
The jack has performed great over the past year. The only minor comment would be that the integrated light hasn't been bright enough to use for other tasks other than seeing the switches. As that is as designed feature, it's only a minor inconvenience if you want more light at the trailer hitch.

- Powered Jack Replacement Recommendation for Powered Jack that Wont ExtendIt does sound like the motor has gone bad since you tested the switch and it is working properly. For a replacement, I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 23" Lift Black # JET-5000 It has a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs which would be more than you'd need but will ensure that the jack will operate quickly and last a long time.

The 1/16th inch you referenced is not a big issue in this case because the mounting bolt pattern will be the same.

It has a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs which would be more than you'd need but will ensure that the jack will operate quickly and last a long time. This capacity is for the tongue weight of the trailer which will be around 1,000 since your trailer is 12,000 lbs.

The 5,000 pound capacity is more than enough for the gross trailer weight of your Aerolite. And the mounting pattern is standard for A-frames. You will just need to make sure the hole for the jack leg is 2-1/4 inches for this jack to fit through. For custom fit towing mirrors for your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 take a look at the K-Source mirrors, # KS80700. These mirrors slip over your factory mirrors...
view full answer... - How to use 12V Power Jack With Trailer That Doesnt Have a BatterySince your trailer doesn't have a battery I am under the assumption that it has a 4-Way flat connection. Rather than installing a battery, battery box, and a 7-way with charge line circuit you can attach the 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20044 to the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 and use the vehicle battery to operate the jack. To do this simply connect the black wire of the connector to the black wire of the jack. The white wire of the connector will need...

- What Are The Quietest A-Frame Electric Trailer JacksThere are a number of quiet electric A-frame trailer jacks, although the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 you asked about would not be on the list. That said, you were right on the money with the Bulldog, because their Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack - 22" Lift - 4,000 lbs # BD500199 (Black) or # BD500200 (White) has a powered drive which is going to reduce noise. The other quietest A-frame trailer jack is from Stromberg Carlson, the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer...
view full answer... - Powered A-Frame Trailer Jack for a 2012 Shadow Cruiser TrailerThe higher the capacity of the jack the easier it will be for it to lift the trailer and the longer it will last. I recommend going with a 3500 pound model such as # LC285318. Or you could go even higher and use a 5000 pound jack, # Jet-5000. I have included links to video reviews for these jacks for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Powered Jack for A-Frame TrailerI recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 23" Lift - Item # JET-5000. It has a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs which would be more than you'd need but will ensure that the jack will operate quickly and last a long time.
view full answer... - Is Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack JET-5000 Suitable for 2007 Jayco Eagle 314 BHDSThe dry hitch weight of the 2007 Jayco Eagle 314 BHDS travel trailer is just under 800-lbs and even loaded to its maximum 9200-lb GVWR the trailer tongue weight should not exceed 1400-lbs. Therefore the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 rated at 5000-lbs will have plenty of extra capacity. This is a good thing since extra capacity means it won't have to work too hard and it should provide a long service life. This jack includes its own separate ground wire. This means...
view full answer... - Dimension from Mounting Bracket to Top of Jack on JET-5000 Electric Trailer jack 5,000 PoundsThe Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack# JET-5000 that you referenced in your question has a distance of 23 inches from the mounting bracket to the top of the jack. You can measure this distance up from the A-frame of your trailer to see exactly where this will sit in relation to the tailgate on your truck. This dimension will be similar for all electric trailer jacks within this same 5,000 pound weight range. I have attached a couple of video demonstrations on the # JET-5000 for...

- Electric Trailer Jack Recommendation for 7,400 lb TrailerThe weight rating for trailer jacks is the vertical lifting strength they have. The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 is an excellent jack that has a vertical lifting strength of 5,000 lbs. Your trailer would most likely have a tongue weight of 740 to 1,000 lbs so this jack would make easy work of it. I always recommend going much larger on electric jacks to make the lift quick and easier. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended A-Frame Electric Jack for Horse Trailer with Living QuartersIf you are looking for an a-frame electric trailer jack for a horse trailer with living quarters, you are going to want to go with a heavy-duty option because of the heavy tongue on the trailer. The heavier you go, the longer the jack will last as it does not have to work as hard and the faster it will extend and retract. The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack part # JET-5000 is what I recommend because of the 5,000 lb weight capacity. That said, you could go with the Electric Jack...
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Trailer Jack for 1,055 Tongue WeightFor your travel trailer that has a tongue weight of 1,055 pounds, I recommend looking at the Husky Brute Electric Trailer Jack # HT87247. There are a couple of reasons I really like this particular electric jack. First, it features a low-friction ball screw that minimizes resistance to reduce wear, noise and heat. Basically, because of this mechanism, the jack simply does not need to use as much power during operation. The jack also has an automatic stop that will prevent damage caused...
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Trailer Jack for 2011 Summerland Springdale 2600TBS TrailerThe standard outer tube diameter for trailer tongue jacks is usually 2, 2-3/16, or 2-1/4 inches. I recommend just measuring the outer tube diameter on your existing manual jack to ensure that the product you choose will fit. Based on my research, it looks like your 2011 Summerland Springdale 2600TBS trailer has a GVWR of 7,545 pounds and a tongue weight of 545 pounds. Using these numbers, I recommend looking at the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame # JET-5000....
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Electric Tongue Jack That Gets Power But Does Not OperateElectric tongue jacks like the 5000 lb-rated Stromberg Carlson # JET-5000 will draw a good bit of power when their motor is operating. It can happen that sometimes the jack will get enough current to light up the jack's high-efficiency LED lights and/or its power switch but not enough to actually operate the motor, in which case the included manual crank can always be used. Most often the issue that prevents the jack motor from operating is a bad ground. This Husky jack uses its round...
view full answer... - Can Electric Jack Be Wired Directly to 7-Way on TruckWe don't usually recommend wiring an electric jack like the Stromberg Carlson # JET-5000 that you referenced directly to the tow vehicle's 7-Way for exactly the reason your local Ford dealer is telling you. The factory wire on the truck is simply too small to handle the amperage needed for the jack like you mentioned. This is really the case with any vehicle, not just your Ford. The best way to power your jack is to wire it to an auxiliary 12V battery on the trailer. You can then run...
view full answer... - Can the Head of Electric Trailer Jack JET-5000 be RotatedIt sounds like you need a little more space. While there isn't a way to turn the head on trailer jack # JET-5000 you might be able to turn the whole jack since it has slotted mounting holes. That is the first thing to try. If that isn't going to work for you and the issue is there isn't enough space between the jack head and a lowered tailgate on a truck then the easiest solution is to use a longer ball mount. We have a lot of ball mounts depending on the capacity and rise/drop needed...
view full answer... - Solution for JET-3500 Trailer Jack that Dropped Inner Leg Into Outer LegSounds like a damaged screw/gear inside your trailer jack. That specific model is no longer made so for a replacement the upgraded version part # JET-5000 would be your best option. This has a higher capacity so it would work a little quicker too.
view full answer... - Replacement Powered A-Frame Jack to Replace Lippert Smart Jack that Stopped WorkingThe first run of the Lippert Smart jacks did have issues so I certainly understand your frustration. The powered a-frame jack I recommend to replace it is the Stromberg Carlson, JET-5000. It has a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs which would be more than you'd need but will ensure that the jack will operate quickly and last a long time.
view full answer... - Recommended Electric A-Frame Jack For 16-Ft Airstream Bambi TrailerFrom my research I found that your 16-ft Airstream Bambi has an A-frame. I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 23" Lift - 5,000 lbs - Black Item # JET-5000. This jack features a 5-inch drop leg and lift of 23 inches so the total travel is 23 inches. This also includes a manual override if needed. This is a bolt-on installation. To keep the jack protected from the elements over prolonged periods of time I recommend part # UF38-944020.
view full answer... - How to Ground Stromberg Carlson JET-5000 Powered Jack on Trailer Where Frame isnt GroundedWhat you'd want to do is basically run a wire with a stripped off end underneath the mounting flange of the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 and then run the other end to the ground of your trailer and it would ground properly. This would not negatively affect your floating system at all.

Amazing! I would have replaced mine sooner with this and I known. It’s not faster but way more confident, quiet, and has a larger extension without taking up much more space.
