Hi Edward, no problem at all!
If you're looking at the Lets Go Aero Jack-It PLUS Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # LGA47ZR, it does require removing the A-frame jack during installation. If your trailer has a bolt on jack, it's a pretty straightforward job using a standard socket or wrench set, and an impact wrench can make it go even quicker. The Jack-It base sits flush under the A-frame jack mounting bracket before the jack is reinstalled. If your trailer has a welded jack instead, it will take a little more work since the welds would need to be cut before the rack can be installed.
The good news is that if your trailer has a bolt on jack, it actually looks like a pretty simple install.
One thing I did notice is that you mentioned the NEO-2 part # B01748 as well. If that's actually the rack you're planning to use, you can leave the trailer jack alone since the NEO-2 is a hitch mounted bike rack and doesn't install at the A-frame.
Is your jack a bolt on or weld on jack?

The Jack-it Plus was a great solution for us. The removal of our bolt-on A-Frame jack was simple and bolting it all back together was easy to do. We ultimately welded it on after a few thousand miles of travel. The bikes rode well while driving 9,500 miles including much rough terrain. I especially liked that you could see the bikes through your mirrors. The attachments are solid. We travelled in rough country from Colorado through Northern Yukon and Alaska and back. After a few thousand miles, the A-Frame gusset that this assembly was bolted to began to warp slightly allowing the bikes to rock back and forth. It was slowly getting worse. Ultimately, we welded the Jack-it Plus to the A-Frame. It required two easy beads from a welding shop, and we did not remove any components to complete the weld. The A-Frame jack could still bolt on and off without issue. The welding was easy, but the decision seemed scary. But welding it on worked flawlessly. The welding was so easy, and it massively strengthened the assembly. For light usage, the bolt solution is likely to work well. If you travel rough roads, welding is a simple upgrade. Safe travels!

I've ordered and received the Jack-It Plus. The jack stand is bolt on and I do think it will be a simple remove and replace project Thanks for the reply and I may let you know how it goes Ed
