Can JET-5000 Electric Jack Lift Trailer Enough for Weight Distribution Spring Bar Installation

Updated 11/08/2016 | Published 11/07/2016

Question:

I have a 4500 Lb Trailer with a Blue Ox Swaypro. Will the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 23" Lift - 5,000 lbs - Black Item # JET-5000 be adequate to assist in lifting the trailer and tow vehicle for removal and installation of the Blue Ox bars?

The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000, rated for a 5000-lb lift capacity, has plenty of power to lift your coupled trailer tongue for installation of weight distribution spring bars. Since the jack will only have to lift trailer tongue weight, and slightly lift the vehicle's rear suspension, it will be just fine for your 4500-lb trailer fitted with the Blue Ox Sway Pro system.
