Note: Do not use this jack to move your trailer if it's extended past this "max moving height" line.
Designed in the Outback for all-terrain use, this rugged jack is equipped to handle just about anything, from moving your boat trailer to accompanying you on off-roading adventures. You'll appreciate the smooth operation and adjustability for everyday use just as much as you'll enjoy the special features designed for extreme use. From jobsites to campsites, the Ark Xtreme trailer tongue jack will work for you.
Dual steel wheels with rubber tires provide increased surface area for smooth, steady travel. The rubber tires can cruise over rocks without breaking or getting flat spots, and the tread helps prevent sliding in wet conditions. The overall strength and durability of these wheels also keep them from stalling in sand or light mud.
Sealed bearings act as bushings to hold the wheels in line on the cross shaft. This is an improvement over traditional plastic jack wheels, which often have just a bolt going through them, providing very little stability and causing the wheels to wobble, lock up, and drag over time.
The heavy-duty, durable design of this jack lets you take your trailer off-road, over rough terrain, and through various climates. The sturdy steel, square body provides increased side-load capacity and superior strength, and limits play between the tubes. And the corrosion- and rust-resistant zinc finish offers a 600-hour salt spray rating to withstand wet or rainy conditions. The built-in grease zerk lets you lubricate the internal screw when necessary for continued smooth operation over time.
A sturdy magnet is built into the jack's easy-to-grip crank handle for secure attachment of the jack crank. The handle detaches easily to store away and prevent hang-ups while traveling, yet it's strong enough to stay put while you're cranking the jack up and down.
The removable handle might also deter would-be trailer thieves. After all, who wants to take a trailer if they can't get the jack to work?
This jack has a pipe-mount style design, which means you pull a non-spring-loaded pin to release the jack so it can swing up or down. To secure it in place, simply line up the holes in the pipe and the mount, and reinsert the pin.
The yoke latch at the bottom of the jack offers 5 positions to hold the wheels in place. This allows you to tailor the configuration of the stowed jack to suit your needs. So if you have anything mounted on your trailer tongue that the wheels might hit if they're positioned upright, you can lock them in place facing down instead. If you're off-roading and traveling through rough terrain where you might have issues with ground clearance, just lock them upright. This locking feature also keeps the wheels from swinging around while you drive, which will help to ensure that the bearings don't wear out prematurely.
Once you've arrived at your destination, setting up is a breeze thanks to the quick-release jack tube on the Ark Extreme jack. Just tug the spring-loaded handle to quickly drop the jack tube to your desired height. This handle allows you to set the jack in 1 of 4 positions. Once you have it as close to the ground as it will go, just rotate the crank handle on the front of the jack to fine-tune the height.
Having the ability to drop the jack tube in this manner means that you won't need a drop leg or space fillers like blocks or bricks. And far less cranking is needed to get the jack into position, which will you save you both time and effort.
When you're ready to pack up and hit the road again, hitch the trailer back up to your vehicle, retract the jack's inner tube using the crank, and reposition the jack back alongside your trailer tongue.
A trailer jack lifts your trailer high enough at the tongue to allow you to couple it with your vehicle. Usually, your tongue weight is about 10-15% of your gross trailer weight (GTW). For example, a 10,000-lb trailer has a tongue weight of 1,000 lbs to 1,500 lbs. To raise the tongue of a trailer this size, you'd need a jack that can handle a static load of no less than 1,500 lbs. And, yes, 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 capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
High quality item - is perfect for our trailer
I am grateful for your service Melissa, George & the many others who helped make my order experience go smooth, get fast knowledgeable help & service!
Have a great day & future!
God Bless!
Sturdy construction. Perfect fit on my extreme off-road trailer.
As advertised.
Heavy duty.
It would be nice if the supplied bolts were long enough to mount the plate that attaches to the trailer.
So, off to Ace Hardware in the morning.
As always, the Folks at E Trailer are the best.
Extraordinary customer service and knowledgeable.
Excellent product… So much easier to use than the one I replaced.
too short.
Just one word for this product, "awesom e."
I always use the lawn mower to put the trailer back yard behind the shed. The couple times a year the lawn mower goes to the shop, this let me move it fairly easy through the gravel!
I think the ARK trailer jack is great, bullet-proof product, but the documentation stinks. Don't try to put the wheels and bearing and washers together without some kind of sticky grease handy. Figuring out the installation schematics was an adventure. When using the drop handle, watch out for pinched fingers. In fact, wear gloves when operating.
Success. I wanted to replace a flimsy trailer jack on my off road trailer and was excited to see the reviews of this jack. I was looking for strength and toughness first and foremost and boy does this deliver! The pictures and videos don't do it justice. Until you see this in person and give it a heft - it's burly! I went for the tube mount version as I was hoping it would work with my existing tube. That wasn't the case as the pin and holes are larger than what I had. Fortunately, the mounting plate saved the day and I was able to position it further down my tongue and still have clearance to swing it up. Well done ARK for having the tube mount be reversible so there is a high/low position depending on what works for your setup. Great piece of kit!
Good overall. At full extension there’s a bend that occurs which is concerning, but aside from that it was a major upgrade from the jack that came with my smittybilt scout.
Great product however there are things that need to be considered before purchasing.
After reading the other comments from those who bought this jack prior to making the purchase, I had an understanding that there may be some concerns that may affect your installation with your set up.
Make no mistake that this off road jack is heavy in weight due to its quality and how rugged it is in appearance.
The jack also included an instruction booklet (which was not detailed nor elaborate), the lug screws and nuts, and it's "Tube Mount Bracket" which is the key item for the installation.
The screws/bolts that were provided did not work in my installation due to that the Ark jack hardware is meant for a slimmer Installation profile like for a 2" x 2" inch frame (Refer to both the comments on etrailer and on the Ark industries websites).
I took my tube mount bracket to a local machine shop where they had to weld on pieces of metal that will contour/cover the frame application which was 3" inches by 3" inches in size. Ark does not sell nor they could not help me with this circumstance after contacting them via email.
The machine shop technician centered the welds so that the bracket can fit snug and secured on the frame for best installation. I also sprayed Rustoleum on the welded pieces for preventing any rust.
I had to purchase 4 new screws and locking nuts (marine grade) which was not cheap at all. I had to purchase the 3" 1/4 length screws to make the installation work as best as possible.
I recommend also applying anti-galling/ anti-stripping compound. The majority of marine screws and nuts are known to strip or have "thread galling" take place otherwise I recommend spraying a lubricant on the threads and put them in a plastic bag for overnight saturation, then wipe them gently to allow some residue to remain.
After I installed the new screws and locking nuts, the installation was successful. The reason for this process is for any event that you would need to remove or move the bracket tube from the trailer's frame.
After I installed the bracket tube with its modified alteration, the installation was successful however keep in mind that any altering of the jack or parts; voids it's warranty.
I have been using the jack without any issues. I choose to remove the jack when traveling to have peace of mind because there may be moments that the bracket may strike or impact elements when traveling off-road or driving on a road where the path is declined or inclined while traveling (Like a steep hill).
I have the ease to push a 4'000 lbs compact camping trailer within the garage and it's great to position your camper where you want to place it whereas you would be unable to maneuver with a vehicle.
Also there have been occasions where I'm off the grid or at a campground where I unhook the camper and utilized the Ark jack to move the camper by hand in a spot where it could have been difficult to position with a vehicle.
By far the Ark jack is a good buy however there are some factors that you may need to take in consideration.
Best regards.
We used this jack on our off-road trailer adventure. I could not asked for anything more. I have used other jacks, and they were not up to the challenge. So far, this one is the strongest. Worth every penny.
Very sturdy and makes it easy to move our Patriot Camper Gen 2 X3 around in camp or in the garage. Infinitely better than the cheap one Patriot provided with the camper.Very well made trailer jack. Worth the price
This Jack is exactly what I needed. Great product. Shipping was fast.
this is my 2nd XO jack that has failed on me. The 2 pins that prevent the jack from rotating have small spot welds that broke. This failure would allow the jack to collapse. Why they do not have proper full welds is unclear to me given the cost of this product. They offered to RMA it but at my expense to ship back to them which was far more expensive than having a local welder fix it.
Replaced my stock jack after I, ahem, sorta ruined it. But, boy am I glad I got this one. So much sturdier and easier to use. It was an unfortunate-fortunate accident that ruined my stock jack. This one really does a great job and is just easier to raise and lower our overland trailer. At first I wasn’t sure I was going to like the removable (magnetic) cranking handle, but I actually like it more than a permanently affixed one. For one thing, it does make it a little harder for someone if they wanted to try and steal the trailer. Of course a lock helps with that as well, but it’s just one more deterrent.
This thing is really heavy. I would have been worried about the added tongue weight, but something else made that moot. The company that made the trailer put the VIN sticker right where this thing needs to go, and I was worried about the clamping force and accidental slippage causing damage to the sticker. So this thing just takes up space in my garage.
Heavy Duty. Better than the 500 which failed to hold up due to the latch on rough roads and can't be removed from trailer. Like that I can remove from off road trailer and store in truck and easily reinstall.

I reached out to ARK about the concerns with the jack. What I found is that the spot welds that you are seeing will not affect the integrity of the jack. The pins that are spot welded on only assist to keep the trailer jack from tilting slightly. The jack will function normally without the pins. The main way that the jack is secured is the central tube that carries all the weight and had a weld process that covers the entire 360 degree tube to the bracket.
