Question:

I am looking for a trailer jack - side frame mount - bolt-on - sidewind. I measured my frame dimensions. It is 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall. The tongue weight of my trailer is 380 lbs. The total weight of my trailer is 2800 lbs. I would prefer a jack with a foot rather than wheels. I want to spread the weight out a bit better for camping on muddy ground so I thought a foot would be better. I currently have a jack with a wheel and find that the tongue is too heavy to make the wheel useful. Can you recommend some products? Thank you.
