Replacement Jack With Tailgate Clearance Needed For A Dump Trailer
Updated 12/15/2025 | Published 11/21/2024 >
Question:
I have a dump trailer and the crank handle that lifts the trailer sits too close to the back of my truck when backing up, hitting my tailgate. Would one of your products work without hurting the structural integrity between the truck and connection of the trailer when loaded?

Hey Philip,
Can you send me some pictures of your trailer so I can get a better idea of what your setup is like and figure out a solution?

Hey Philip, were you able to share those pictures of your dump trailer so we could see how close the crank handle sits to your truck? Once you have them, I can help figure out a setup that keeps everything clear and safe.
