Recommended Trailer Jack for a 5'x8' Utility Trailer
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
We have a 5’x8’ utility trailer we use to haul e tadpole bicycles. We need a jack that will lift the trailer tongue high enough to go over the ball on the motorhome hitch which is 21 1/2” from the ground, and it also has to go low enough to rest on a ball hitch that is only 14” from the ground to the top of the ball when we use a different vehicle to pull it We are looking at a jack with all terrain wheels. So, would ORJW350D work? Or is there a better one that would fit our needs given the measurements we are working with? Thank you!! The 2 vehicles we will use to pull the trailer are a Jeep wrangler and a Jayco motorhome. Bob and Jeanie Munsterman.

Expert Reply:
Hey Jeanie, I think only 12" of lift is going to be a bit too short based off of your measurements. Instead, I recommend going with the Ark Xtreme Off-Road Swivel Trailer Jack w/ 2 Wheels # ARK39FR which has 24" of lift and collapses to 12" when fully retracted.
This jack also has a 1,600 lb weight capacity which should be plenty for your utility trailer.
