Question:

Carla Thanks for the information I just watched the video and read the question. I have just 1 question. How does jack weld to trailer? Can I weld anywhere along the jack to the side of the trailer frame? I'm sure my uncle will like it and order them Thanks again

For a pair of rear stabilizer jacks that you can weld directly to the frame of your 2020 Griffin 7 ton dump trailer, I recommend two of the etrailer Square Direct Weld Jack part # TJD-8000S. It measures 25-1/8 inches from the bottom of the foot to top of jack when retracted and 40-1/4 inches when fully extended. Each jack has a capacity of 7,000 lbs, for a combined capacity of 14,000 lbs that will work perfectly with your 7 ton dump trailer.

I've attached a video that goes over all the features and specs of this jack for you at the bottom of the page.

That is correct. Any part of the outer tube of the etrailer square jack # TJD-8000S welds directly to the frame of your trailer. It's pretty universal in that you get to choose exactly how to install it depending on your application. Once you've found a suitable location, you would simply weld on both sides of the jack, as shown in the attached diagram. Also attached is an example photo of a pair of jacks welded on the back of a trailer. I recommend having a fabrication shop or certified welder install it if you (or your uncle) are not comfortable or have not welded before.
