The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…
To check the pins on the vehicle side 7-Way, you can use a circuit tester or the volt meter. The circuit tester will show you if a signal is coming through on the pin you are testing while the volt meter will tell you that and how much voltage is…
Hello Bruce, Thanks for writing in! Using butyl tape between the trailer body and the Single Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fender - Diamond Plate Aluminum - 13" to 15" #HP96VR is exactly the route I would go. It stays flexible, creates an…
Hey Nate, We do not have a 3/4" spindle nut or washer, the smallest option is the 7/8" spindle nut #165931and a 1" washer #SW1000. I cannot find anything smaller. Are you sure the threads on you're spindle are 3/4"? If they…
Good question Chris, thanks for reaching out! I searched our inventory and I was not able to find a side mount trailer jack that would fit a 5" frame. The Trailer Valet JXS Drill Powered Swivel Trailer Jack w/ Footplate #TV64FR has the largest…
Hey Chris, the Bulldog jack part #BD190758 would do decently in a saltwater environment but honestly it's not going to last forever. The zinc coating and the powdercoat will eventually allow the steel underneath to corrode. Now if you were to be…
Hey Jerry, thanks for reaching out. The Atlas IV Hydraulic Trailer Jack #ST23FR is a single-acting hydraulic jack, so hydraulic pressure is only used to extend the cylinder. Once the trailer is coupled and the tongue weight is off the jack, the…
Hey Brian! Yep, for your boat trailer, I’d skip the etrailer A-frame drill jack #e38AV since your trailer doesn't have that standard 3-bolt A-frame jack mount. That could be fabricated to fit, but that's a lot of unnecessary work. For a…
Hello Ralph, thanks for reaching out. The etrailer Electric Trailer Jack #e23ZV will be a great option for you. The jack can be rotated to the side if needed. We have one of these jacks on our trailer here at the shop and I have seen it rotated and…
Happy to help Joe, thanks for reaching out! From what you're looking to get out of a trailer jack, I'd suggest the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Jack w/ Wheel #D22335. It has a large 8" x 3-5/16" single wheel, 1,500-lb capacity, their…
Hi Mark; the only jack like that is the Lippert Power Stance Electric Trailer Jack #LC89VR but it exceeds the amount you're looking to spend. If you're fine with one that only runs off of the 7-way then I recommend the etrailer Electric…
Hey George, best solution for you will be to go with an all new jack like the etrailer part #e95YV because Fulton is no longer in business so there isn't a way to get a replacement F2 and none of the other jacks out there use the same bolt…

Trailer jacks are essential for stabilizing and maneuvering trailers with ease. Whether you're hauling livestock, equipment, or a camper, a sturdy jack ensures safe and efficient handling. Consider factors like weight capacity, ease of installation, and durability when choosing the right jack for your needs.
Choose a trailer jack with a weight capacity that exceeds your trailer's loaded weight. For example, if you're considering a 2,000 lb jack but find a 5,000 lb option for just a bit more, it's a no-brainer to go for the higher capacity for added safety and peace of mind.
Most trailer jacks are designed for straightforward installation, often requiring just a few bolts. Some models can be welded directly to the trailer for added stability. A typical install can take less than 5 minutes, making it a quick and easy upgrade.
Yes, many trailer jacks are versatile enough to handle various terrains like gravel and grass. Look for models with durable wheels and a strong swivel mechanism to ensure smooth operation across different surfaces.
Regular maintenance involves greasing the moving parts to ensure smooth operation. Some users suggest having a repair video for tasks like handle replacement. Keeping the jack clean and lubricated will extend its lifespan and performance.
Look for features like a locking wheel to keep it secure when not in use, or a magnetic handle for easy attachment. Some jacks offer flexible mounting options, allowing you to choose the best position for your trailer's frame.
