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.

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

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.

Like 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.

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!

I have had the jack for 1 year now. it has worked without any issues. a small thing, but, the "C" spring that holds the pen in the extendable foot is highly user friendly. it is curved just a little bit, making it so easy to take on and off, especially in the dark.

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 !!

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.

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.

Jack is performing great... love how I can adjust the length when unhooking from the truck... no longer have to cary around a block of wood.

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.

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

Jack looks good but did not meet expectations as the square tube is larger than the hole for the existing round tube it's replacing and the mounting holes do not match. If mounting holes are standard then the jack that came with my trailer originally must not have been.

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

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.

I do have a couple solutions for you but the Square A-Frame Jack # TJDA-5000S is not compatible with the round jack mounting hole on the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-52.
For a trailer coupler that features a standard 2-1/4 by 2-1/4 inch square jack mounting hole you can use A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Square Jack Hole # CA-5280-QB. This jack uses a 2-5/16 inch ball and has a capacity of 15,000 lbs and is fully compatible with # TJDA-5000S. A 2 inch version is not available... view full answer...
The mounting hole pattern on the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate # TJDA-5000S measures 3" on center, with the front mounting hole being a little longer just to accommodate any slight variances. This is the standard mounting hole pattern for A-Frame trailer jacks so it will fit on your toy hauler trailer.
The A-Frame jack with the most lift capacity that we have available is the Phoenix Electric Trailer Jack # UF38-944055 which is rated for 5,500 lbs and is an electrical jack with a... view full answer...
When the jack # TJDA-5000S is fully retracted you will have a measurement of 7-1/8 inches from the bottom of the mounting plate to the bottom of the foot plate and when fully extended that measurement is 22-3/8 inches. From the top of the jack to the bottom of the mounting plate is 17-5/8 inches.
The jack has a total travel distance of 15-1/4 inches. The dropleg is going to add an additional 13-1/2 inches of travel and can be adjusted in increments of 3-3/8 inches. I've made a diagram... view full answer...
The handle on Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate - Drop Leg - Sidewind - 15-1/4" Travel - 5,000 lbs Item # TJDA-5000S is held to a gear with a roll pin and into the jack with e-clips. It would require modification and fabrication to link two of them together. Further modification/fabrication would be required to operate the jack with a power drill.
Landing gear is usually at least partially protected from the elements because they sit under a 5th wheel trailer overhang or in compartments... view full answer...
It is an easy replacement for you based on the picture you sent. The opening for most A-frame jacks require an outer diameter of 2-1/4 inches. I recommend you use a round jack like the Round A-Frame Trailer Jack - Sidewind - 15-5/8" Travel - 5,000 lbs # TJA-5000S-B, it will be an easy fit without any change to the hole other than maybe cleaning up corrosion. For this application you will also want a footplate like # JF-99. This mount has all three elongated holes for easy mounting.

Sorry to hear the Square A-Frame Jack # TJDA-5000S didn't work out for you but we do have a round tube jack that will be a perfect replacement.
I recommend the Round A-Frame Trailer Jack # TJA-5000S-B which is very similar to the square jack you referenced but its outer tube is round and has a 2-1/4" outer diameter; it also has a standard 3-hole mounting plate attached as you can see in the accompanying photo.
This is a sidewind jack with 5,000 lb support capacity, 3,000 lb lift capacity,... view full answer...
The dimensions you are asking for are difficult to find. For lifting ability, you normally will have to give on clearance on the top or bottom of the mounting plate. I've found a couple options for you, but your capacity needs will need to be considered along with the height clearances.
For a 3,000 lb capacity, we have the Bulldog Square, A-Frame Jack - Fixed Leg - Topwind - 15" Lift - 3,000 lbs, # BD195321. This jack has a retracted height of 7-3/8 inches and a top clearance of 14-11/16... view full answer...
Your 2015 KZ Spree bumper-pull travel trailer came with a side-wind manual a-frame jack with foot plate. For a replacement I suggest the bolt-on 5K-rated side-wind jack # TJDA-5000S which includes a drop-leg to minimize your cranking time. Please refer to the linked review video for more details on this high-value jack. If you need new hardware you can locally source Grade 5 bolts and nuts, preferable stainless steel, at your local full-service hardware store. view full answer...
Unfortunately the 15/32 measurement is something I can't match. The Fulton handles are thicker than that. What I recommend is exchanging your jack for a new one like the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate - Drop Leg - Sidewind - 15-1/4" Travel - 5,000 lbs # TJDA-5000S. I've attached the page to all of our jack and landing gear options for you since I don't know the size or style of your particular trailer. view full answer...
The lifting capacity of this jack is determined by the drop leg. In this case the Drop Leg # TJD-5000-FT that comes on the # TJDA-5000S jack is rated for a 3,000 lb lift capacity.
If you are needing a trailer jack that has a 5,000 lb lift capacity then I recommend the Round A-Frame Trailer Jack # TJA-5000-B. There is a drop leg that you can purchase for this jack as well. The Drop Leg # JF-1005H-Z will give you a little more surface area for your trailer jack to use. view full answer...
The only coupler we offer compatible with the part # TJDA-5000S is the A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Square Jack Hole # CA-5280-QB which is designed for 2-5/16 inch hitch balls. Reason is due to the higher capacity nature that the jack and coupler have and the fact that 2 inch hitch balls just don't have the same towing capacities as 2-5/6 inch. view full answer...
A great replacement jack for your Hyperlite 27HFS trailer is the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate - Drop Leg - Sidewind part # TJDA-5000S. As your trailer has a dry weight rating of 5,578, the 5,000 support rating of this jack will be more than sufficient as the entire weight of the trailer will not solely be resting on the jack, only the tongue weight. The jack also comes in a powder coated black finish with a max lift of 13-1/2". The drop leg feature will eliminate the need for excessive... view full answer...
The closest option we have available to the jack that you are looking for is the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate part # TJDA-5000S which extends 28-3/4" and has a 3,000 lb lift capacity. It is a side wind A-frame with a footplate. I have attached a video for your reference. view full answer...
I called my representative at Ram International, and they informed me that the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate part # TJDA-5000S has a drop leg made of zinc plated steel. The outer sleeve in which the drop leg is positioned in is made of steel as well with a black powder coated finish.
Both of these surfaces should be fairly easy to weld with a little surface prep work. view full answer...
The crank on the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate # TJDA-5000S is on the front of the jack. It is very possible that it could interfere with your tailgate fully opening depending on the setup. If that were the case though moving the crank handle to be all the way up would help get around that.
A longer ball mount could help. I attached a link to a page that has all of the longer ball mounts we carry. view full answer...
Yes, the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate # TJDA-5000S that you referenced is a fit for the a-frame of your 2014 Starcraft 16rb Launch Camper. view full answer...
The Trailer Valet # TV94FR trailer jack doesn't feature a drop leg. If you'd be interested in a sidewind jack with a 3K lift capacity, I'd recommend the etrailer branded # TJDA-5000S. The jack offers a total lift of 29 inches. If you'd prefer a top wind jack with a total lift of 28-1/2 inches and a 3K capacity, the Bulldog # BD195318 would be a fine choice. You can view product demonstration videos featuring the # TJDA-5000S and # BD195318 jacks by clicking the provided links. view full answer...
I reached out to my tech contact and confirmed that the Replacement Sidewind Gear Kit for etrailer and Ram Square, Direct Weld Jacks - 7,000 lbs # TJD-7000S-GR is the same gear kit used in the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate - Drop Leg - Sidewind - 15-1/4" Travel - 3,000 lbs # TJDA-5000S. I've attached videos of each to assist. view full answer...
Our A-frame jack with the most lift is the etrailer.com Square A-Frame Jack # TJDA-5000S which has 15-1/4-inches of travel and a drop leg that gives an additional 13-1/2-inches of lift, for 29-inches total. This is an inch more than the lift with the Ultimate Trailer Jack # 322-RDJ-2K.
The 2000-lb-rated Ultimate is lighter at about 12-lbs but the 20-lb etrailer jack gives you a 3000-lb capacity. view full answer...
We offer all types of trailer jacks that are shown on the linked page. These include a-frame tongue jacks like those supplied on many Circle J trailers I checked. These jacks are available in weight capacities from 750- to 5000-lbs.
Just click on your preferred type using the filters on the page - sidewind or topwind - and whether or not you need a drop leg, and foot or wheel. You can also choose a jack based on how much lift it provides. For example, for a 3K-lift-rated sidewind jack... view full answer...
That is a custom trailer build I believe. I asked another Expert here and neither of us have seen anything like it. Since you are adding a plate to the top and bottom of your tongue, the Bulldog Jack Support Plate - A-Frame - 2.3" Square Hole # BDSPBQ50 is a great option for support if you already have a square jack. If not, I recommend the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate - Drop Leg - Sidewind - 15-1/4" Travel - 5,000 lbs # TJDA-5000S or the Bulldog Square, A-Frame Jack - Drop Leg -... view full answer...
The Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate - Drop Leg - Sidewind - 15-1/4" Travel - 3,000 lbs # TJDA-5000S does not currently have any inside photos or videos I can share.
The Replacement Gear Kit for etrailer and Ram Sidewind Jacks - 2,000 lbs and 5,000 lbs # TJA-2000S-GR will only work on round jacks and the Replacement Sidewind Gear Kit for etrailer and Ram Square, Direct Weld Jacks - 7,000 lbs # TJD-7000S-GR is what is needed for square jacks and some round jacks with the different square... view full answer...
I do have an a-frame trailer tongue jack that will work with the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM15337-97 but the Square A-Frame Jack part # TJDA-5000S will not due to its square shaped design. Instead, I recommend using the Round A-Frame Trailer Jack part # TJA-5000S-B which has specifications that are very similar to the above jack.
I have attached a review video of both the trailer jack and trailer coupler for you as well. view full answer...
The 2500-lb-rated Square Jack # MJSQ-2500B certainly has enough capacity to lift the 600-lb tongue weight (TW) of a 4500-lb travel trailer although this particular jack is primarily intended for marine trailer applications. This jack's included bracket mounts to the side of a trailer frame that measures up to 3-inches wide and between 2- and 5-inches tall.
Since your travel trailer is an a-frame you might consider a comparably-rated a-frame jack like the 3000-lb-rated Bulldog # BD1550100317... view full answer...
If you have 12V power on your trailer (or you are willing to add it) I highly recommend going with the Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX because it is a great electric jack at a great price-point. It provides 25-1/8" of lift and has a 3,500 lb capacity which is more than enough for your camper.
For a manual jack I recommend the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate # TJDA-5000S because it gives you the highest lift at 28-3/4". This jack is rated for 3,000 lbs so it will also have more... view full answer...
My recommendation is the Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate - Drop Leg - Sidewind - 15-1/4" Travel - 5,000 lbs, # TJDA-5000S. This jack has the same mounting as the Bulldog Square, A-Frame Jack - Drop Leg - Topwind - 15" Lift - 3,000 lbs, # BD195318 you mentioned. The only difference is that it is a sidewind jack instead of a topwind jack. We do not have a topwind option for square A-frame jacks with 5,000 lb capacity. view full answer...
