Stabilizing & Lifting

Jacks

The right setup setup can be used to stabilize, level, and change a flat.
We prefer to make them removable so no worries about dragging them when off-road.
The mounts are welded to the trailer frame using a 2-1/2" to 2" reducer for hitches. Weld the piece to the frame and crossmember to give a little more stability.
We can cut the handle off and weld a nut so you could use a cordless to raise and lower, or leave the handle so you do not have to bring a cordless with you all the time.

Tongue Jacks

12Volt electric tongue jacks are preferred over hand cranks to make life easier.
We often turn the sideways, especially on a trailer with a short tongue since this may be the easiest way to fit your propane tank on the tongue.
As a benefit it is easier to see the buttons since you typically stand on the side when operating the jack.
Another option for a manual tongue jack is to bolt a rod coupling nut to the shaft. We recommend a drill and not an impact driver for this as the impact driver will hammer destroy the small bolt over several uses.
Typically on a top crank jack the handle is bolted on, just replace with a coupling nut the fits the shaft, most often a 1/2", or 5/8" nut.

Steps

Like the jacks we installed on the trailer we use a 2-1/2" - 2" reducer sleeve to the frame under the door to mount it.
Turned out perfect, used a 4" drop hitch and it is just right.
Easy to remove for traveling so no worries about dragging it off-road.
