Question:
My home driveway is on a slope. In order to level my trailer, I have to use the front scissor jacks to support it for 5 minutes while I unload the tongue jack to add more wood blocks under it further lift the front up to level. See picture attached. Once up to level, I put large wood blocks under the scissor jacks and use them for their intended purpose as stabilizers. I never use the scissor jacks to raise up the trailer or support it for more than a few minutes at a time. I recently drove off from a campsite and forgot to raise one of the scissor jacks, which ruined it. The tongue weight of the trailer is 1,000 lbs, the stabilizer jacks are placed 8’ aft of the hitch ball receiver, so the jacks would have to support more than 1,000 lbs, but far less than the 13,000 lbs for which a pair of these are rated. The trailer is a 2014 Arctic Fox 25r, which weighs 8,500 lbs loaded, 10,000 lbs gvwr. Do you sell a sturdier stabilizer jack than this one? Any other sugggestions? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks # UF48-979002 do have the highest capacity of the scissor style stabilizer jacks we carry at 6,500lbs per jack. This capacity is support capacity and does not have any lift rating.
I would recommend using the Stromberg Carlson Chock Wheel Stabilizers # SC47MR since you are on such a slope. These will reduce the amount the trailer creeps down the hill.
