Post subject: | Trailer Jack |
As you can tell I am not afraid to ask questions. I am pretty much all set with all my gadgets. I have a Load Rite trailer with spare wheel ,toy box and front lift support. I was checking all my wrenches, pressure in the tires and realized that I don’t have a trailer jack. I found one that looks simple and easy to use but it looks kind of dangerous to use it. My concern is to pull the trailer too far and go over the edge. Any comments? Anybody uses one like this? ![]() |

I dont recomend this kind of jack it may work well on a smooth level surface but not on gravel, grass or soft uneven terrain. I recomend keeping a small bottle jack and a few 2x4's or 4x4's with the tow vehicle. You may also be able to use the factory jack that came with your vehicle to lift the getaway it fits under the axle of my trailer with no problems. Good Luck |

I forgit the most important thing in my last message. Remember jacks are for lifting vehicles not supprting them. Use jack stands if you need to get under the trailer or if it's going to be supported in the air any amount of time. |
