Question:

What is the tubing size of this jack? If it is 2, then if I cut the wheel assembly off, would a wheel assembly for a 2 tube fit into this? Same question for all that have 2 inch tubes with wheels welded on. I need a jack short on the bottom that I can attach and remove the wheel from

Expert Reply:

All of the side mount jacks that we carry either come with a welded footplate or welded wheel. Though the tubing size is 2 inches, I cannot recommend modifying jack # DL22300, or any jack with a wheel or footplate welded on, as it will void the warranty and make the capacity unknown.

If you could go with an a-frame mount, we have several options for jacks. You could go with something like the etrailer Round A-Frame Trailer Jack - Topwind - 14-1/8" Travel - 5,000 lbs # TJA-5000-B, and add a footplate like # JF-99 or a wheel like # JC-102.
