[QUOTE="Locust Cutter, post: 4937089, member: 32805"] Ithink he was meaning instead of the swivel mount ones like you see on most boat/jet-ski trailers and many log splitters. Most of them are designed for 500-1500lbs and, like all jacks, are only as good as their mount. They're not designed for real weight. The one valley firewood posted was a 10k rated jack which is substantially stronger. Mount a pair of those on the back and 1 on the front and you not only have a viable work platform, but depending on your ground clearance and suspension travel, you may be able to service the trailer/change tires without needing a stand-alone jack and could remove all weight off of the tires/suspension when not in service... That would be a boon towards suspension and tire life. [/QUOTE]
