For your trailer jack, I recommend Bulldog A-Frame Jack - 5,000 lbs - Top Wind # BD175000 which will be an easier installation than a sidewind option on your trailer based on the photos.

If you prefer the sidewind style, it can absolutely still be used. For this, I recommend the Round A-Frame Trailer Jack - Sidewind - 15-5/8" Travel - 5,000 lbs # TJA-5000S-B. The installation of a sidewind will require disassembling the jack because the gearbox wouldn't otherwise clear the installation hole.

With either style jack, I recommend the Pro Series Detachable Footplate w/ Pin for 2" Diameter Jacks - 2,000 lbs to 5,000 lbs # PS1400700340.
