Hello Tim,
On the Square Jack Follow Leg - Side Pin Drop Leg - Spring Return - 25K Lift - 24-1/2" Travel # TJD-25100 from the bottom of the foot to the bottom of the outer tube is 5" retracted and 18" extended. I attached an image as well to make sure we are both talking about the same measurement.
What application are you putting this on?

Hey Tim, how did those measurements on the square jack work out for your setup? Did the 5-inch retracted and 18-inch extended distances line up with what you needed? Your feedback could help others trying to match the same jack to their trailer.
