Basically, the higher the capacity of the jack used the easier it will be for the jack to operate and the longer it will last. The highest capacity A-frame jack that we have is # UF38-944055. It's rated up to 5,500 pounds and also has the highest lift of any of our jacks at 26 inches.

A trailer that weighs 7,500 pounds would have a tongue weight around 750 to 1,125 pounds (10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight) so a jack rated for 4,000 or 4,500 pounds could handle it with ease.
