Tongue Jack

Post by TrailerTrash »

Sometimes it is the simple things. I've been doing a lot of work on the boat, and anytime I was near the bow, the front would jiggle enough to give me unease. Trailers are like RVs, made to a price point, and they just don't inspire confidence.

This one is worlds better—a full 8000 lb. capacity with a square drive and no slop in the travel.

Hi TrailerTrash!

Nice upgrade!
That’s a very nice robust Jack!
It like the kind we wanted to replace our original 3K OEM Jack with but couldn’t get at the time.
(We settled for a cylindrical swing away 5k Jack… Better than we had… :wink: )
Like how rigid it appears! No wobble slop with that nice welded clamp plate arrangement!

Kudos! Great Upgrade!

Best Regards
