Question:

We like the Jack It 2 Bike Rack but our trailer jack has a top drive, not a front drive so it wont work. Does etrailer sell a front drive trailer jack for a 2019 Aliner Scout trailer?

It looks like the Aliner Scout has a dry weight of around 1350-lbs and a tongue weight of around 135-lbs when unloaded. Since you need a side-wind jack, I recommend using the etrailer.com Round, A-Frame Trailer Jack # TJA-5000S-B which will easily handle the weight of your Aliner Scout trailer; since this jack does not come with a foot plate you'll want to also get the Footplate for 2,000-lb and 5,000-lb Round, A-Frame Jacks # JF-99.

If you wanted to go with a premium option, I recommend using the etrailer Electric Jack with Footplate # EJ-3520-WBX. This is an electric jack that will fit perfectly on your Aliner Scout and won't be affected by your Jack It 2 # LC429756 bike carrier.
