Hey Robert, thanks for the information. To add rear stabilizer jacks to your dump trailer, I recommend a pair of the Square Direct Weld Jack w/ Footplate item # TJD-8000S. This jack has a 7,000 lbs capacity and is sold individually so you'll need two. It measures 25-1/8" from the bottom of the foot to top of jack when retracted and 40-1/4" when fully extended.

Hey Robert, did the Square Direct Weld Jacks work out for stabilizing your dump trailer while loading and unloading your mini excavator? I'm asking because your experience could help others with similar needs.
