Expert Reply:

The bracket for mounting a jack on a A-frame trailer has a bolt pattern of 3 inches. The bolt holes may be different sizes which is why you'll see the slotted holes on a jack like # EJ-3520-BBX. This is the standard pattern for nearly all A-frame trailers.

The slotted holes in the # EJ-3520-BBX are 1 by 7/16 inches.
