Specs:
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.

The trailer jack has worked great. We’ve put it to use a lot over the last year and it has never had even the slightest issue. I’d buy it again, although this one is so sturdy I doubt I’ll ever need to replace it.
Micah - 07/27/2022Very tough jack. It's a little slow moving because it's geared to handle so much weight. But the adjustable foot quickly gets it close to the ground. My trailer tongue required a few cuts to fit the square jack in my previously round hole. The back two bolts needed holes drilled as well.
Instillation was very easy and it works amazingly. My trailer had a electric jack before and I was always having to maintain a battery, now I don't he to mess with that and it lifts super easy. I highly recommend this jack for enclosed trailers or heavy tongue weighted trailers.
Great customer service!

Thank you, Melanie
I have bought several of these and they are good quality at a very good price.
etrailer is the best for price and services
As always, very pleased with etrailer.com. Their speed, pricing and customer service is second to none.
I needed a new jack for my equipment trailer and wanted to upgrade to a drop leg jack. I naturally went to etrailer to begin my search. I didn't want to go the weld on route and since my trailer previously had a standard bolt on tongue mount jack, I wanted to use the existing holes. This jack claimed to line up with existing bolt on tongue jacks however, two of the three bolts we off by maybe 1/2". In addition I was replacing a round jack with a square one, so obviously I had to modify the circle where the previous jack was mounted. I was able to quickly modify the bolt holes and the round hole with the plasma cutter and bolted it up no problem.
Jack seems high quality and name brand and I love the fact that it has a grease fitting for serviceability. The only reason for 4 stars was the fact that it wasn't a true "direct fit, bolt on" jack. Otherwise, another GREAT experience with etrailer !!
Love the fact that it has a drop leg. Could be geared a little lower, but with the drop leg it makes is very nice.
The A-frame jack continues to operate smoothly on my enclosed trailer.
The 15" travel with the added length from using the adjustable drop leg works well to accommodate the high tongue height of a drive over trailer.
Much handier than the pinned and removable foot plate it replaced.
Keith O - 09/19/2018Decent jack seems to work well so far. It arrived on time and was mainly simple to install after I removed the old one that was welded on.
great product, But the sq shaft does not fit in the round hole that was there .
BAD deal . Had to cut a sq hole in my trailer . not good . THis is a good jack u just have to come up with a way to have it fix in the factory hole.
Sorry, haven’t used the trailer but a couple of times only use it to haul hay once or twice a year but it works great was more impressed with the terminal connection box that I bought for the same trailer that goes between the truck harness and the trailer wiring it worked great after I realized the color code on 7 pin pigtail harness from the truck does not match the correct wiring color code for a flatbed trailer can send you a picture if you want anyway great service thanks
I have not installed it yet, but the jack came very well packaged and the jack is very well built and just what I needed. I looked high and low on other online retailers and nothing compared to the choices provided by etrailer. The shiping was extremely fast also.
Tony - 01/25/2019Like others have said, needed to modify the coupler and bottom reinforcement plate as the original jack was round and this is square. Additionally, I had to re-drill two of the bolt holes as they were in slightly different locations.
Drop leg is a big improvement and well worth the effort. Only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that the gears are not as smooth as I would like. I have several trailers and other square, drop leg, side handle jacks are smoother. It's not bad and appears very strong so overall I would buy one again.
searched for a bit to find a drop leg jack I could afford. I was tired of having to always keep a block of wood handy to put under the jack. This one filled the bill..
Wish this was a standard trailer offering when I purchased it new. Superior design!
Quality of the jack is excellent
Easy bolt on installation
Position of mounting plate was a little high for my application but the removable foot plate extension allowed for ground clearance when retracted
This trailer is used with a diesel pusher and has an extremely low clearance at some driveways
Very nice jack. I like the grease fitting and the drop down leg. It was a bit of a job to install because the old jack was round and two holes didn't match. Made the round hole square and drilled new holes. It works great!
Bent the factory jack on my boat trailer. Bought this replacement one. Had to do some trimming and drill new holes for it to fit, but expected that because it was a heavy duty jack than what was originally installed.
After owning this for a year and replacing my original 9 year old jack, I am very happy with it. The only thing that was difficult was the bolt pattern was slightly different than my original jack so I had to open up the holes on the trailer some. Otherwise this is a great buy!
Just installed the TJDA-5000S on the 12000K Trailer, was fully aware of its circumference due to being square, compared to normal round one. It only took about 3/16" to take care of the four corner point. It is very stout and I like the drop leg that saves time, and the grease nipple that will keep it from binding up inside.
Had to modify my trailer slightly but this adjustable base jack has been an absolute savior for my back when cranking up with a load on the car trailer. A great upgrade from what was there
Great jack upgrade for a vintage canned hammed, flipped axle for off-road use. Cut the coupler to fit with 4.5" angle grinder with a 1/16" cutoff wheel. Easy lift, high travel. Very satisfied. etrailer is a great company for my online and delivery needs.
found one hard time find , that one is very unique one perfect for army trailer
replacement wheels portable no longer change design and better light weight , what a nuts army trailer all very heavy steel and duty. LOL !!!
