Need help bending trailer jacket bracket

[grsthegreat]

the only problem with the front hole, alot of times thats too close for the tailgate......no one wants a smashed tailgate

How do you attach this to the trailer. Do you have to weld a small piece of pipe to the side of the frame and then this jack slips over it? Hard to tell from the pictures.

Lighter versions are a bolt-on arrangement, like single-axle trailers only.
