Expert Reply:
I sure can Dail! The etrailer Trailer Jack w/ Wheel item # MJ-1206B is the shortest jack we carry. It extends down only 13-1/2" from the center of the mounting bracket and can be rotated against the side of your trailer's frame when you're ready to tow.
The etrailer Trailer Jack w/ Wheel item # MJ-1206B has a 1,000 lbs tongue weight capacity and comes with bolt on mounting brackets and hardware. It'll work with trailer frames that are 2" - 4" tall. It has a lifting height of 10".
What kind of utility trailer do you have and how short of a jack are you needing? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Thank you for your reply. I tried that one. Didn't work. Long story. I'm going to have to custom make one. Trailer is really odd.
