Fulton Swivel Jack Upgrade

[Bob and Terri]

What about this jack? https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Jack/etrailer/MJ-1500B-DWL.html
This one looks like a direct bolt on replacement for the stock jack with 2 wheels and 1500 pound capacity.

Very close to original, but with 2 wheels. However, the wheels are not ball bearing like the one discussed above.
OTH, this one has an 11" range, like the one that came with the CI.

I might be out to lunch on this, but something tells me a real "upgrade" on the OEM jack might just cost more than $73.

 

[Lipster]

yeah. If the OEM jack broke, this one would be a contender, but not an upgrade.

The beauty of this solution is greater capacity at 1500 pounds, no holes to drill or bolt/brackets, dual wheels for ease of maneuvering, and it is only $73! Oh, and no swivel ring to pop off.

Well, I ordered one of these to try out see if the second wheel helps with maneuvering. The larger contact area has to help with stability once you level things at the campsite.

Received new Jack with dual wheels and installed. Exact fit reusing same hardware and significantly beefier. No frills upgrade and just a quick wiggle of the trailer nose seems easier. Will know more soon as I need to pull the trailer out soon for some prep work.
