Is There a Trailer Jack With Wheel & Retracted Height Under 10-1/2 Inches
Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 07/02/2024
Question:
I have a carry on 5x8 low trailer. I need a jack with a wheel that will retract to 9 or 10”.. I have one that has a minimum of 10.5 but is slightly too high. Do you have one? Thanks

Hello Harriet,
We do not offer a trailer jack with a retracted height of 9" or 10" like you need, but a sidewind jack can work, the Boat Trailer Jack w/ Wheel # MJ-1200B.
It isn't strictly a jack for boat trailers, of course, that's just the title, and it has a retracted height of 12-1/2" and you can swivel it up when you aren't using it for better clearance.

Hey Harriet, how did the Boat Trailer Jack with Wheel work out on your 5x8 trailer? Did swiveling it up give you the clearance you needed when not in use? Your update could make it easier for others with the same setup.
