Specs:
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 Extreme 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 convenient, side-mounted swivel pin has an easy-to-grip handle, making it fast and simple to swing the jack down for use or up alongside your trailer tongue for travel.
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 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.
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.

Very well built and looks great too. Just as important more to me as buying a product is customer service and etrailer is top notch. I had a small issue when mine arrived and Carol C was all over it as if I was her top priority fixing it promptly. I was starting to think that in the world we live in that there is no customer service left. Thank you Carol C. for giving me hope! I will continue buying all of my trailer needs from you! Quality, fast shipping and good coroner service. Can’t ask for more
Had the trailer jack for a year, so far so good. Needed longer bolts to mount on the trailer tongue. Great to have the extra height adjustability over the small stock tongue jack that came with our trailer.
I am rating this it’s a one star because of the poor customer support I received from etrailer. I emailed etrailer asking if the bolts provided would fit a 3 inch frame, they replied and said the bolts will fit from 3 to 6 inches Frame width. Boots provided are only 3 inches long, and I needed 4 1/2 inch bolts.
Heather A - 05/19/2021Awesome jack. Should have downsized to the smaller unit but wasn’t available in black.
extremely well-made product - great design - specs are wrong - included bolts are only for a 2” wide tongue - no big deal but had to buy longer bolts. Great overall design but don’t care for magnetic held removable crank - I think it will end up getting lost so I’m going to have it welded on.
Solid construction, works well and Ark customer support is excellent - had an issue with the handle and they sent a new handle out ASAP
Wheels wobble. One bearing fell out during assembley. The other bearing had to be pounded in with a hammer. Bolts are too short to mount on a 3 inch square hitch. I expected better for $xxx. Disapointed!!!
Sierra K - 09/07/2021This is an amazing jack. It is incredibly heavy duty, giving lots of comfort for using it for it’s purposes which are moving the trailer freely in less than ideal environments. etrailor was also great, great communication and service.
Great upgrade for a Moab camping trailer. I broke the wheel on the standard jack but based on how much easier moving the trailer is now I don't expect any issues. Not shown is that the wheels are steel centers with ball bearings - much better than all plastic wheels on a sleeve. I will be ordering this again for my boat.
Heavy Duty
This Jack has been great. I push a descent size boat around with relative ease. Rolls on different surfaces well. It has a good finish and is built like a tank. Love the handles and adjustments. This is actually a case of getting what you pay for.
This is a terrific jack. Great quality.
Very heavy duty Jack!
This thing is a BEAST!!
Extremely sturdy product and very easy installation. The bolt holes should fit most trailers - the patterns are spaced different on each end, if you pay attention. Good notifications and fast shipping by etrailer - received sooner than expected.
Added this to my camper, and can't say enough good things about this jack! Manufacturer thought of everything! 1st: was easy to install and plenty of factory holes for adaptability. 2nd: This thing is beef cake. Burly construction. Could withstand winching your trailer. 3rd: Adjustability... you can actually use the 10" of crank, because the wheel has holes to adjust downward, before using the crank extension. 4th: stores up, out of the way, and can rotate the wheel and lock in multiple positions so it's not banging around, roughing up your trailer.
It's just easier and better. It's easier then any of my old a-frame jacks that I would forget to crank up all the way. The wheels are better and bigger so it's easier to maneuver the trailer. And it's easier to flip the jack up then it was to get down on my hands and knees to unpin the wheel from the old jack. And I like how the jack wheel has an alignment pin to keep it from swiveling when towing. I'm really happy I bought it.
Fantastic customer service with a personal touch... Rarely seen today in our bot driven world. Thank you for the updates and friendly service.
Arrived very good condition.
Solid and well built.
