Will Ark Off Road Jack Fit Same Mount as Ultra Tow Jack

Question:

About your Ark 500 swing-up jack ORJW500D. I dont know if it will work on my trailer. I cannot use bolts over and under the frame without smashing my trailer brake line, I dont think. It has a plate welded on the outside of the frame that the present jack is bolted to. I do not know if your bolt hole pattern is the same as yours or if the steel plate is same size. It is about 7 long by 5-3/4. It is an Ultra Tow #44064, sold by Northern Tool. I also do not know if the little bolts are big enough to hold your 32 pound jack. Can you help with this? Thanks.

The Ark Jack # ORJW500D is not going to fit the same mount as your current jack. All of the jack manufacturers use slightly different brackets so it's no possible in nearly all cases to swap one. What about the other side of the trailer? You said there were brake lines on the one side of the trailer frame but is there a brake line on other side? If not, that might be the easier location to install the jack.
