Can the Trailer Valet XL Mount Be Used With The Trailer Valet 5X Trailer Jack?

Question

Question:

Can the trailer valet XL mounting bracket be used in conjuction with the trailer valet 5X. My trailer frame is taller than 6inch so the mounting bracket included with the trailer valet 5X will not fit.

The Trailer Valet XL Mounting Bracket # TVXLMB is actually designed to work exclusively with the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive # TVXL25 & # TVXL2 and will not work with the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover - Topwind # STC-V211, unfortunately.

Instead, since your frame is taller than 6", your best bet is to use a weld-on jack like the Square Pipe Mount Swivel Jack w Footplate - Drop Leg # TJDP-7000S-B.

This jack will weld directly to the side of your trailer's frame so the height won't matter, has a maximum lift capacity of 7,000-lbs, a maximum support capacity of 8,000-lbs, and has 28-1/2" of total lift.
