Tongue Jack on rear of trailer

   / Tongue Jack on rear of trailer #11  
I have 2 jack on rear of my trailer. Along with loading it allows me to raise trailer up high enough off ground to let tires free wheel for storage.

For my aluminum trailer, can I just drill mounting holes to bolt on two jacks, or can it be somehow welded (dissimilar metals and all that)?

You would have to get the kind like Ron has pictured. No way to bolt mine on without some mods. Rons is probably a little tougher to.

Ron, did you leave enough room there to swing the jack up into travel position without the jack head hitting the stake pocket? I like the apparent strength of your chosen jack, where did it come from? Cost? Good thread.

If I want to store the jacks on trailer they have to be mounted with crank handle down and stand up. Tail light is just to the left of mount. The jacks are rated at 5000 lbs each. I purchased them from Princess Auto near Toronto Canada. Probably not much help to you. They were $28 each when the Canadian dollar was at $.74. Princess Auto is similar to Harbor Freight here in the states.

Wheel Chocks?
No worky!

We tried chaining the ramp legs and wheel chocks and still pushed the trailer when the tractor went from the ramps to the beavertail.

Highbeam,
You can get those jacks from Tractor Supply.
