Electric A-frame jack has 2 toggle switches for operation. Jack has a retracted height of 9", an extended height of 27-1/2", and 18" of screw travel. Drop leg offers an extra 5-5/8" of lift. Includes a manual override handle.

Specs:
A trailer jack is designed to lift the tongue of your trailer so you can connect the trailer coupler to your hitch ball. To do this, you'll need a jack with a lift capacity high enough to handle your trailer's tongue weight.
Tongue weight is the amount of weight that your trailer applies to the back of your tow vehicle. Typically, your tongue weight should be 10-15% of your total trailer weight (trailer + cargo). In other words, a 10,000-lb trailer would have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. For a trailer this size, you would need a jack with a lift capacity of at least 1,500 lbs.
It's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher lift capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Every jack offers a certain amount of lift or travel. Screw travel is the distance the jack extends when you crank it (or toggle it to "extend" on an electric model). Some jacks include a drop leg for extra adjustability. On these jacks, you'll see the maximum extension of the drop leg listed in the specs as well. Adding the screw travel and drop leg travel together will give you the total lift. The total lift listed above can help you determine how high this jack will be able to raise your trailer.

It's to bad that the shipping companies do not take better care with the items during shipping! will receive replacement parts to fix what was broken, but it causes lots of extra work for the customer. will have to take complete jack off to replace the broken motor cover because of shipping carelessness!!

I had a question about installation that wasn’t covered by the products info sheet. Like always I asked for a solution and I received a quick response and the problem was solved. Truly great customer service. Thanks

Installed this jack to replace a jack that was intermittent. This little jack is very slow bu has worked every time it was needed. We have an Anderson weight distribution hitch so it gets some heavy use jacking both Truck and trailer up to install hitch. One of those products that just always works. Don’t think about it anymore, just know it’s reliable. Highly recommend after a years use. We head out at least twice a month sometimes with multiple stops on our trips
This was a replacement jack for another brand that I also bought at trailer. The other one failed from new. etrailer was extremely helpful and resolved the issue promptly. This one works and I am pleased.

The jack is working fine after a year. I keep it covered with a five gallon bucket since I have outside storage.
This little rig has teeth! Much faster than i expected. About a 30 minute installation from old lift removal to new and wiring. Super simple. Great addition to my hangar 18!

Still going strong. I like this little guy a lot!
The jack has worked great. It replaced a manual hand jack on a 16 foot cargo trailer/camper conversion. I'm pleased with it.
The jack was easy to install and works well but the screws that hold the cover on and other fasteners are cheap junk that immediately started bleeding rust and corroding.
Jack is fine, mechanically and electrically. But the plastic lens over the LED lamp would not fit properly, no matter what I did. So I had to use silicone caulk to seal it up.

We actually sold that trailer, so I have no idea.
Install was easy enough. Getting through the second hole at the bottom of the A frame was a bit of a challenge (paint/powder coat made it a very tight fit. A little filing around the edges of the hole and the jack tube resolves that. Drop leg is a very nice feature! Jack moves a little slower than I had anticipated (thus the 4 stars). Overall, I’m pleased with it and it definitely made hooking up to the load leveling hitch MUCH easier.

Jack is still performing well and meeting expectations. Still wish it moved a little quicker but, aside from that there are no concerns with quality and reliability.
I will give 10 stars to etrailer and its employees. My 1st replacement jack didn't make out so well after a trip on the Long Island Expressway. I contacted the company, and a replacement was on the way in short order. Thank you!
The product itself does seem above average and appears great for the price point. Very easy install. I suggest taking your time with the electrical connection and hooking right up to the point of contact instead of a splice if you can, there's plenty of wire. I now cover the unit with a plastic bag, as my original lasted only 5 years and the insides were all waterlogged and rusted when it failed.
Ive not had any issues with it so my first year, it's been really helpful to me. However, I did notice when I took the camper out this past weekend and used it, the screws are all rusted. Would be nice if it came with stainless steel screws instead!
My Jack arrived DOA. After installing it on my trailer, the Jack didn’t work. The manual crank handle came in handy because I didn’t have time to troubleshoot and repair it at the time. It was just a wire that was no longer connected to the switch but I have to tell you it was extremely disappointing to receive a brand new item that didn’t work. If it had worked out of the box, I’d give it a five star review. You should consider soldering and heat shrinking the wires to the switches or making the wires longer so they aren’t banjo string tight and putting the lug at a strange angle.
This was purchased for my 24 foot enclosed car hauler. Overall I think this is a decent purchase, priced under $120.
The fuse should come from the factory with dielectric grease packed in the little holder as it is located outside of the housing and it's in a pretty rough environment. The power lead length is plenty long for connecting to either a battery mounted on the tongue or service box that all of your trailer wires go into- This is where I wired mine into. I actually used a grommet to plug the hole that the manufacturer ran the power wire through and drilled another hole on the other side so the wire would run straight down the correct side of the jack and into the service box.
One of the screws that mounts the black housing on to the metal frame was pulled through by the time it arrived, so I am used washers when I reinstalled them to help prevent this from happening again.
Other notes:
I will need to get a longer hitch now, as my tailgate will hit the jack housing, and I did purchase a cover for the jack from the recommended bar at the bottom when I purchased this jack.
Final:
I've only cycled it up and down twice but it worked nicely and quietly so overall I am very pleased with my purchase

Still working well, over a year later. From -30f to 90f and I havent had an issue, except for the light lense got busted. I keep a cover over it which I believe 100 makes a world of difference.

I hope that third time is a charm. The first one I got several years ago, had a short circuit causing the battery in the camper to explode and also damaged some wiring. The next on was one that could be plugged into the 7 prong trailer plug on the towing vehicle. The motor would not raise or lower the trailer, intermittatly. Will be installing #3 shortly (connects directly to the battery), and I hope it lasts more that a couple years. Suggest that fuse to the lift be placed on the HOT side, not the Ground side.
Very solid and heavy duty jack, with bright LED lighting, manufactured by Ram. Adjustable foot piece for quicker adjusting... Jack pretty easy to install, with single wire electrical connection and 3 bolts. Jack has low gear ratio and foot shaft moves slowly, but has plenty of power to lift front of trailer. Plenty of clearance behind jack for propane tank cover on our Airstream. Replaced more expensive model that was bent at mounting flange being winched onto transport trailer.

Jack is still slow and steady and has worked perfectly since installation... The adjustable foot unit is about an inch too tall for at lowest position some sites, based on low hitchball height of our tow vehicle, but we have used the shorter foot from prior jack as an alternate, and that solved problem...
you guys are great - jack showed up when you said - its exactly what you said it was - easy install - thanks again
Same jack as factory. Replacement after wrecking the original.
Works very well on our Lance 1475. My reason for giving it less than 5 stars is the wiring provided for the positive lead. It’s too short to run it properly secured between the jack and the battery box, the manufacturer should add another 12” or so. I had to splice more wire in to make the connection and be able to secure the wire along the trailer frame. Also, a little heavier gauge wire would be a good idea for the amps this unit is pulling. Other than that, the form, fit and function are perfect.

Still working perfectly after a year of use, and perhaps 10 camping trips. Definitely great value for the money. I did purchase the vinyl cover to protect it, and just leave that on all the time.

Haven’t really use it yet. Install was easy enough as far as jack. The lower plate with hole did not line up perfectly with upper plate hole. Had to do some filing for jack to fit properly. Shipping was fast considering it was over a holiday weekend. I am very pleased with etrailer. I also purchased the jack cover to keep the weather off of the jack. I am sure it will be money well spent.

The jack has worked flawlessly
Installed the new RAM electric tounge jack on my enclosed car hauler trailer. Very happy with this unit. Quick install, like the adjustable foot pad, and operated smoothly. etrailer packages well and deliveries quick.

Working great. No problems to report. Highly recommend this product and your business! Thanks
The Jack seems to be great quality and was very easy to install. At first I was a bit perturbed with the lack of detail and small font of the one page directions, but it’s as simple as 3 bolts and one wire to the battery(the hack is grounded inside). It raises my 2017 Jayco Baja much higher than stock crank jack. I hope it lasts the test of time as I am very happy with it this first day. The light seems bright as well.

After a year it still works great!!! Looks good and works like a dream!
I purchased the Ram EJ-3520-BBX one year and one month ago. For the year after purchase, it performed well. When I tried to use it this week, the jack would neither lift nor retract, not responding at all on that toggle. The light still works, though.
Trailer Jack works great for my trailer. Easy to install and I like the LED light.
Bought this as a Christmas present for my son. Installed it July 5 and we went camping. Went camping again 2 weeks later no issue. Went a third time the beginning of August and as it was lifted to put onto his car ( Lincoln ) it slammed down thank god landing mostly on his hitch. The pins or what ever inside sheered off making it unusable. My husband emailed the company when we got home from the trip, no responds. He emailed again October, no responds. I got my “ it’s been a year, how do you like it “ email. I respond with the above. NO RESPONDS. It wasn’t cheap, it was more powerful then he needed for his size camper and it broke after TWO uses. We were hoping they’d offer and exchange but. NOPE, NO RESPONDS. VERY disappointing.
My second jack from etrailer, previous jack was very dependable and worked very well for years.
This one will replace the previous jack which as damaged by user forgetting to retract it before attempting to drive off, no fault of the previous jack. etrailer service, quality and price is fantastic.
All of my RV club fellow members are etrailer fans.

The jack works as advertised. It is strong enough to raise the back of the truck to make it easy to set the chains on the weight distribution hitch. The only design change I would make is to have the motor on the aft side (trailer side). I can no longer lower the tailgate on the truck when hitched. But for function, it is great! I also wired in a single pole, double throw switch (with a center off position) so I can use the trailer battery when not hooked to the truck. The switch is mounted inside the trailer and in the center off position it isolates the jack so no one can operate it when unattended. I would definitely recommend this jack to anyone.

Totally satisfied with the jack. Works great and my trailer comes in at over 7,000 lbs. I was able to turn the motor assembly 180* and now I can lower the tailgate on the truck. this might no work on trailers wit propane bottles on the toung. I would definitely recomend this jack to anyone
