The Replacement Bulldog Sidewind Jack Crank Assembly # BD015181 is recommended for the Bulldog Square Jack - Drop Leg w/ Spring Return # BD182701.

Both jacks are very reliable and rebuildable if you should have issues with the jacks. I do prefer the Bulldog Square Jack - Drop Leg w/ Spring Return # BD182701 over the Bulldog Square Jack - Drop Leg w/ Non-Spring Return # BD182700 as it is much easier to push down on the spring return jack when dropping the trailer than it is to bend down and lift the jack leg and lock in place when attaching the trailer. And if the spring should break they are also replaceable with the Replacement Return Spring # TJD-12000-RSP.
