Can the etrailer Scissor Stabilizer Jacks be Used to Replace Tristar 5000 Scissor Jacks

Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 10/09/2025

Question:

Hello, I need to replace a broken Tristar 5000 scissor jack on my travel trailer. I removed the broken jack and see the mounting plates are welded to the frame. Will this etrailer 7500 lb scissor jack fit into the Tristar bracket? A rectangle was part of the assembly bolted into the welded bracket. Is your design similar and come with its own , would the Tristar be needed or helpful to make your jack fit the welded bracket?

Hey Ben!

The bracket on the etrailer Scissor Stabilizer Jacks w/ Handle and Drill Adapter # e96VV is a pretty standard one and can be bolted on or welded. I'm attaching a photo of the bolt hole dimensions in relation to each other so you can compare it to what you have. I wasn't able to find the bolt pattern for a Tristar 5000, but it should be pretty easy to compare with the specs I gave you.

Do these dimensions look similar to what you have?

Hey Ben, did the bolt hole dimensions on the etrailer scissor jack line up with your Tristar bracket? It’d be great to know if the fit worked out with your welded setup. Your update could make it easier for others replacing similar jacks.
