Hi, I'm Scott with etrailer, and today, we're gonna be taking a look at and installing our Bulldog A-frame Trailer Jack. Our Bulldog Trailer Jack we're looking at today is gonna be the top line type. We don't have anything in the way of our handle here, so this is gonna work out really good. Now if you have a trailer that has maybe your propane tank or a box or somethin' on the front that's gonna get in the way of your handle, maybe look at the side wind style that's gonna be maybe on the side and not comin' around as much, and I think you'd maybe have a little more clearance for that style. This trailer jack is gonna have a weight capacity of 5,000 pounds. And for your tongue weight of your trailer, you're gonna want your weight to be 10 to 15% of your total trailer weight.

So if you have a 10,000 pound trailer, your weight capacity for your tongue weight's gonna be anywhere from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds. Our trailer jack has a lift capacity of 5,000 pounds, and that's gonna be more for your bigger trailers, the higher end of the spectrum, it's got a really high capacity. So what that's gonna do for you, if you do have a smaller trailer, it's gonna make cranking the jack down a lot easier, you're not gonna have to struggle up or down with that, so it's gonna be pretty convenient. And with these, you really don't have to worry about going overkill with these, it's just gonna make your life a little bit easier. As far as some of your measurements go on this one, your bracket height, which is your measurement from up here, down to this point here is gonna be 10 and 13, 16 inches.

And then, when you crank it all the way down, it's gonna be 25 and 13, 16ths inches on that one. You're gonna have a tube diameter here, that's gonna be two inches. And that's gonna fit most of your standard feet (component clinking) and/or wheel setups here. And those are optional, we do not have that with the kit on those, so that is something you'll have to look at or reuse the ones that you have. So, we got together our top three A-frame jacks here, and this is gonna be your bulldog style with the same 5,000 pound capacity.

And this one is gonna be the sidewind, which makes it a little easier, you're just gonna be able to sidewind it, it depends on your application if you have room or not, but this is a good option if you have say a propane tank (component clinking) or something back here. This one's gonna be more of the lighter duty option here. This one's gonna be your 2,000-pound. It's basically the same as the 5,000, it just has a lower capacity. And this one's gonna be the more heavy duty top wind, and this one's gonna be 5,000 pound capacity as well.

Alright, if this bulldog 5,000 pound tongue jack seems like the right fit for you, stick around, and we'll help you get it installed. To start the installation of our A-frame trailer jack, we got the old one out of the way, so we have a nice, clean slate to work with here. (feet shuffling) Now, we'll just get our trailer jack here set in place. (trailer jack clanking) Make sure it goes through the holes here. Let's get it lined up with your holes. A lot of your trailers are gonna come with weld nuts that are already into your trailer here or they're threaded through your trailer, and this one will not come with hardware. So, what you could do is just reuse your old hardware or pick up some new hardware to use. And basically, we just get our bolts started all the way around. I like to just go ahead and get 'em threaded in by hand real quick. Just get 'em started, get a few threads down. And just do that (screws clinking) all the way around. Now that we have 'em all finger tight, I'll get some threads started there, we're just gonna run 'em down just a little bit, and get 'em snugged up. (drill buzzing) (drill buzzing) Now, we'll come back with our torque wrench. We looked up, there really isn't a whole lot of anything we found online as far as torque specs, but what we did find is most of 'em are right around 15 to 20 as far as foot pounds of torque to put on 'em. So, we're just gonna go with that measurement. Alright, now we'll just torque 'em down and get 'em snugged up here. (parts shuffling) (tool shuffling) With that all installed, that'll do it for our look at our Bulldog A-frame Trailer Jack.
