Trailer Jack with Best Ground Clearance and a Wheel for a Pop-up Trailer

Updated 07/26/2018 | Published 07/25/2018

Question:

I am trying to make room for a tool box on the front of my popup trailer. The jurrent jack swings and is in the way of a tool box. I am wanting a jack that hangs below the trailer as little as possible when retracted, but would like the ability to add a wheel when needed so i can roll it around

If your trailer tongue weight is less than 750 pounds then I have the perfect solution for you. A Rack and gear jack, such as # BD162300, can get very low. When fully retracted it measures just 6 inches from where it mounts to the bottom of the wheel. This jack is designed to fit frames that are up to 4 inches square but no larger or can be welded directly to the trailer. We also have the similar # BD169201 for trailers 3"x5".

If you can tell me your frame width and height and the tongue weight of the trailer I can make other recommendations.
