Specs:
The Ultimate Trailer Jack has a wide range of adjustability and it is easy to use, making it a dependable choice for your A-frame trailer. Its adjustable design allows for maximum clearance, drastically reducing the potential for damaging hang-ups. The jack also features an outer tube that extends to provide extra lift. This removes the need for common space fillers while providing a sturdy base of support. With this jack, the hassle of dealing with drop legs, bulky blocks, or heavy bricks is a thing of the past.
The Ultimate Trailer Jack has a compact profile that allows the jack to remain flush with the trailer frame when it's retracted. This prevents the jack from catching on uneven terrain while you tow, protecting both the jack and the trailer from damage. No longer do you have to worry about bending a jack on a back road or in an unmaintained parking lot.
Oftentimes, damage from snags and hang-ups occurs because the jack isn't fully retracted. It can be difficult to see if a standard jack is fully retracted because only the inner tube extends down for use. This means that the height of the visible portion of the jack, which sits above the trailer frame, doesn't change when the jack is extended. As a result, it can be easy to overlook whether or not the jack is still extended.
The Ultimate Trailer Jack offers a simple solution for this. If the jack is raised above the trailer frame, it is in the stowed position. If the outer tube is not visible above the trailer frame, then you know that the jack is still in the support position, and it must be retracted and raised before you can hit the road.
Once you have arrived at your destination, setting up is a breeze with the quick-release jack tube on the Ultimate Trailer Jack. Dropping the outer tube will give you up to 12" of lift to ensure solid contact with the ground. The ability to drop the jack tube removes the need for space fillers like blocks, bricks, or a drop leg when using the jack.
The outer tube also provides a sturdy alternative to a standard drop leg. Traditional drop legs average about 1-3/4" in diameter. But the outer tube of this jack measures 2-1/4" in diameter. The result is a base that is far sturdier and more stable than that of a standard drop leg jack.
On a standard drop leg jack, the release pin is tucked away under the trailer frame. The release pin on this jack is conveniently located right above the mount for easy access. In addition, the pin on this jack is spring-loaded so that you don't have to remove the pin to drop the tube. Instead, just remove the clip from the quick-release pin and grab the built-in, easy-to-grip handle. With a firm grip on the jack post, pull on the pin handle and then rotate it 180 degrees. Lower the post to the desired position and rotate the pin handle back to lock the outer tube in place.
Once you've dropped the jack tube into the desired position, you can get up to an additional 15-1/2" of lift by cranking the jack. When you are ready to pack up and hit the road again, hitch the trailer back up to your vehicle, retract the jack's inner tube using the crank, and reposition the jack back up into the mount so that the bottom is flush with your trailer's frame.
To maximize stability, outfit the jack with an industry-standard footplate (included) or caster (sold separately).
The jack screw of the Ultimate Trailer Jack is built with ball bearings that roll smoothly along the threads of the screw shaft and the nut. This eliminates direct surface-to-surface contact within the screw. This produces far less friction along the threads, leading to a reduction in heat and wear, as well as noise. The overall result is a jack that can be raised and lowered faster, smoother and more efficiently, and with less effort.
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.

Topwind handle allows for an additional 15-1/2" of screw travel.Mine arrived with a drill bit end broken into the release handle. In fact, the drill bit was what was holding it together. I don't know what a production unit has in that through hole (a roll pin?). Regardless, it isn't something you want to find in a new jack. After I punched it out, I added a snap ring pin to hold it in place. One other comment would be that the foot needs to be unbolted in order to remove the jack. Ideally a locking pin would have been better than the bolt for a "no-tools-needed" removal.
I purchased this for my off road camper, because I wanted a jack that completely retracts and doesn't leave anything hanging beneath the frame that could hang up on rocks, etc. This is just the ticket. Once hitched up, it's easy to remove the foot (or nose wheel if you prefer), and lift the jack up to its highest setting. Seems to be really well made. It's quite heavy, but offers an incredible range of height adjustment.

One year on, I continue to love this product. It has functioned perfectly, and shows no signs of wear or deterioration.
This jack would be the most perfect trailer jack ever designed - if it had just one more feature. There needs to be a mechanism that prohibits the handle from turning (by itself) as you tow it down the road. They ALL have this potential. Currently i use a bungee tied on the handle - then fastened to my trailer railing. This assures that cannot happen.
Other than that - this is the absolute best jack, just as it is advertised. I replaced my OEM (Texas Bragg) jack - after it turned itself downward, on a long trip - eventually contacting the road, which kicked it back - bending it. (That is why I mentioned the added feature that evidently no other mfgrs use as yet either)
But despite all that - I have found that no jack is as easy, as fast to adjust, as nice looking, and as heavy duty as this one.
You will be very satisfied in choosing it.
YES - it just might be well worth the premium price.

thay work great best jack for a trailer and hitch is also great
Very newly installed, so can't speak to longevity, but seems to be a very solidly built jack. The locking pin for the quick drop works well and the handle is easy to crank even on my moderately loaded trailer. The reason for the one star deduction was 2 pronged: 1) As noted on eTrailer's video, standard washers hit the side of the outer tube on trailers with fixed-point mounting bolts - it was easy enough to grind a flat spot on the washers to clear, but then the bolt heads barely cleared, requiring an open end wrench for installation. 2) The crank handle sits below level, so when cranking quickly, there is a very real possibility of hitting your forearm on the pivot point. Otherwise, no complaints and a nice upgrade to the standard crank jack I was replacing.
this jack thinggee works really well. It solved my problem of not having enough room to attach the wheel when unhitching the camper. although, the bolt holes did not line up exactly, my handyman was able to make it work to attach this device.

This jack is great! It’s easy to use, sturdy and reliable. I don’t have to think about the grade level where I park.

Works good, Easy to install. My only complaint is the crank rubs on the top of the housing while raising or lowering and squeaks loud. You have to hold the handle up while turning to stop it from squeaking.
I have this jack on my enclosed snowmobile trailer. Best feature is the ability to lift the jack foot up very close to the trailer tongue. With the stock jack I would scrap the ground while exciting over curb or tough trail heads. I’d give if five stars but in freezing conditions the jack pins and slide functions can be difficult to use.
This is an excellent replacement for the jack on my Legend 16' V-nose with aluminum frame, it was easy to install, mounting flange matched perfectly. This style trailer sits very low and has always been a headache going in and out of gas stations, ect. The original style Jack foot hits "sometimes very hard," even when the jack is cranked all the way up. Now I rotate the top pin, remove the bottom foot pin and remove the complete Jack and store it in the back of the truck, takes 30 seconds.
Exactly what I needed, our new camper is so close to the tow vehicle I can’t open the ear hatch, with this ultimate jack I can hook up and remove it completely out of the way, Oerfect!
It's a good jack. The only reason I'm replacing it is because the grandson used the trailer and did not raise it up and bent it. Other than that, the jack is great, easy to use, and is well rated for the tongue weight of my trailer.
One of the best investment for my trailer! Works great, tucks high to avoid contact with our trailer tug.
Modified the top with a bolt-on 5/8" hex connector and it easily lifts a loaded cargo trailer with a 1/2' cordless drill.

Well, I needed to replace it about a year in. Easy enough, two bolts and just swapped jacks within the mount. About a year in the jack failed. First it got a bit tight to turn and would stick while lowering, eventually failed to crank after a “pop” raising trailer. Screw had been keep lubricated, and trailer stored indoors so minimal exposure to elements. Luckily, failure happened at home and floor jack was handy to unhook trailer.
fix's the problem of dragging the the jack. I had the old one as a swing up but the new style is tons better you can see the old and the new in the picture. easy to install and I added the wheel so I can push it around
I have a 14' utility trailer I use to transport my Yamaha Wolverine Side by Side. I tow it behind my pickup and my motorhome. It is normal for me to travel some questionable dirt roads. As a result I bent the original jack several times and actually had to replace it once. It didn't retract far enough, it left an inch or two hanging below the A-frme tongue. Sometimes a steep driveway approach would catch it and bend it. When I destroyed the replacement jack I decided it was time to look for a solution.
I spent a few more bucks and got the Ultimate Trailer Jack. It retracts above the bottom of the A-frame tongue so the jack is protected. Problem solved!
I recommend this trailer jack to anyone that has a clearance issue that results in dragging your trailer jack.

The Ultimate trailer jack is simply “The Solution” for those who have bent a center mount trailer jack that doesn’t fully, completely retract above the trailer frame. I haven’t had any problem with jack clearance since I installed an Ultimate trailer jack. It was necessary for me to use Allen head hardware to mount my new jack because of the bolt pattern on my Big Tex trailer.
Works well. Just as we had hoped. More convenient to use than the swing away jack we used before.
My costumers love this trailer jack, unlike the standard jack, the ability to rase it up keeps the jacks foot from hitting the surface when moving over uneven ground. HIGHLY RECOMEND IT
Nice product. I really like the removable wheel/flat pad.
I put a wheel on mine.
Great upgrade from a basic manual jack. This raises more fully and lowers farther as well. Fit the existing holes at the a-frame of my trailer, so installation was a snap. This in conjunction with a longer stinger let me drop the tailgate on my Tacoma with the trailer attached.
Fit my old trailer, I love the adjustable height, it also can be removed ( when I store it in the winter )
Exactly what I needed to keep my tailgate from hitting the Jack when I lowered tailgate. This also allows the Jack to be lowered so I do not have to crank the Jack as far. The Jack will raise up higher when driving to have better ground clearance.

After a year I am still really happy with this Jack. I was afraid being moveable it would not hold up, but it works great.
I really like this jack. It's held up well and the adjustable pin settings save a lot of hand cranking.
Works perfectly, don’t have to crank handle forever when you are hooking or unhooking trailer. I need to buy a couple more.
This product worked excellent for my needs and is as advertised. It has a nice finish and works smooth. When matched with a foot plate JF-100-ZBK, it provides a low profile while in transit.
A couple things to note: the extension tube is 2” OD, the main body is 2 1/4”, and the mount tube is 2 3/4”. While the mount has a slotted holes for mounting to existing holes, my pattern of 3” center hole to hole (1.73” circumcircle radius), was about the minimum as a socket did not have space on a bolt head and an end wrench was required to tighten them; anything less will likely require drilling new holes. Lastly, the Jack has fine threads that raise and lower slowly, but is negated by maximizing the extend ability with quick pin.

Its structure and finish have held up well
Very useful & well built product. Ability to move the support out of the way fully helps with lower clearance hitches. Very solidly built, too.

Aside from my initial findings, this has been a joy to use. I love the fact that I dont really need to haul that extra block of wood everywhere and can quickly pop up or down the jack for stowage or use.
