Question:

I have a 1994 Zeiman Trailer with an A-Frame TopWind Jack. I dont mind having a Sidewind either. But I am looking for a replacement jack. The top plate thru-hole is plenty wide in diameter to accommodate a 2inch + Outer Tube. My issue is that the bottom support plate thru-holeinch is only 1 7/8inch in diameter. The distance from the Top Plate and the Bottom Support Plate is only 4. Is there an A-Frame Jack that will accommodate these dimensions? The application is for a Double Jetski trailer.....so its not like I am lifting a lot of weight.

Expert Reply:

None of the jacks we offer have tube dimensions that would be small enough to fit the bottom support plate on your trailer that is 1-7/8 inches in diameter.

The best recommendation I could make would be to install a new bottom support plate like part # BD003135 so that you could use a jack like the etrailer Jack part # TJA-5000S-B that you referenced. For a foot plate you would want part # JF-99.
