Question:

Hi, i need a new a frame trailer jack for my flagstaff 228 bhse. Im thinking ill go with the trailer valet TV94FR, although the bulldog 5k lb sidewind looks good, too. The trailer is pretty high, so i would like to add a leg or some other clever solution rather than blocking. Could you recommend a good leg or something else? I was thinking maybe JF-1005H-Z or BD500377. Ideally, it wouldn't de rate the system capability so much even though my tongue weight is much less than 2k lbs. I need roughly 26.5” from the jack mounting plate to the ground to get the trailer up over the ball for a level tow. I suspect the tongue weight is less than 500lbs normally, although i also want to overkill the whole setup since my last jack failed and ped the tongue a few inches- everything is fine but it was scary.

I recommend the Bulldog Square Swivel Jack w/ Round Pipe Mount # BD190758. This jack has a maximum static capacity of 8,000lbs, and a maximum lift capacity of 5,000lbs. Also, this jack has a retracted height of 25" and a fully extended length of 53 3/4", which should eliminate the need to add another leg or use a block to get more height.
