When looking to purchase an electric trailer jack, there are a few features you want to keep in mind when comparing between brands. Power draw, weight capacity, and maximum lift height will be the features that will be important in deciding on the correct jack application that will work for your needs.

With this in mind, the jack that I recommend with the information that you provided is the Ultra-Fab Phoenix, # UF38-944055. The jack has a lift capacity of 5,500 lbs and a total lift of 26 inches. This jack also has a wireless feature.

The feature of the jack that I like the most is it low-friction ball screw system. The Phoenix will work easier and use less power than any other jack rated at the same weight capacity.

For a more economical option, the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Jack, # JET-5000, is also rated at 5,000 lbs and has a total lift of 23 inches. This jack will draw a little more power when in use, but has a better price point than the Phoenix if that is a deciding factor.
