Jack Recommendation for a Trailer Frame with 2 inch by 2 inch Channel Dimensions

Updated 08/18/2014 | Published 08/17/2014

Question:

Im looking to obtain a bolt on trailer jack. However, the bolt pattern on the swivel plates are too large to accommodate my trailer tongue, which is a a 2x2inch tube. Ive read the instructions of one type I looked at, which stated that the top bolts should be resting on the top of the tongue, and the bottom bolts should not be more than 1/16inch away from the tongue. Is there a brand you are aware of that will fit my trailer? Thanks

On a trailer with frame dimensions as small as yours I would recommend a pipe mounted jack like the Pro Series Round, Pipe-Mount Swivel Jack w/ Footplate # PS1401440303. This jack comes with a 2 inch outer diameter pipe that gets welded to the trailer frame that the jack installs onto.

A welder should be able to install the pipe on your trailer in just a matter of minutes.
