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.

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.
Great product. Great customer service follow up. They actually waited a year to ask me to review. Will buy from them again!
One year after my purchase of an Ark hitch jack for my overland camper Ii am happy to report that everything is performing perfectly.
The welds on Both pins that connect the wheel assembly to the clamp cracked and the pins bent…..on a 3500 lb trailer…..thought I bought heavy duty. Now I cannot put wheel down without trying to put pins in place - which, of course, weakens them. I don’t expect they’ll last - looking to get someone to weld them again, but the placement needs to be perfect. Very disappointed.
I’ve loved the product so far. A year later it still feels and performs like a high quality piece of equipment.
Solid product. Worth spending the money to get a great Jack versus the cheap ones that are out there.
This is the 3rd one I purchased. The company still included bolts that are too short. All 3 trailers I have put the on take 4.5” bolts so I had to go buy new bolts. Trailers must be different where these are mfg. This new model has changed how you rotate the wheels up. I am not sure if I prefer the old release or the new one but the new release makes the unit easier to install.
Very sturdy and smooth function. MUCH better than the previous two competitors products. Glad I found this one
This is a rugged product that allows me to move my teardrop trailer around on flat ground.
I really am impressed with the quality and durability! Made in the USA is huge for me and I highly recommend this jack.
Great quality

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.
