Question:

I am looking for a replacement jack on a home made goose neck flat bed 25. I use it for hauling 1600 gallons of water. What do you recommend? Im thinking two jacks for stability when its loaded and unhooked. Do you have the connector pipe as well?

Expert Reply:

The weight of 1600 gallons of water, without the water tank's own weight factored in, is about 13,350-lbs. For such a high-weight application I suggest Bulldog Square Jacks # BD182804 and # BD182805 along with Connecting Rod # BDCS730300. Two jacks are definitely the way to go.

If you wish to motorize this jack setup you can also add motor kit # BD1824200100.

I also recommend you first determine the actual pin weight of the loaded trailer so that you can be sure to select jacks with high enough capacity. You can do this by weighing the truck's rear axle both with and without the trailer connected to the hitch; the difference between the two weights is the trailer pin weight.
