Don't know if the regular Trailer Aid would be enough or not, however, when I bought mine, I went with the Trailer Aid Plus. I figured an extra two inches (or how many inches it is) would be better.

Could have sure used a Trailer Aid this weekend ... came home from a trip, parked the trailer on the driveway as usual, no issues, came out maybe an hour later to find the front curb side tire totally flat. :M My driveway is significantly sloped so although I did manage to get the wheel off and spare installed using a hydraulic jack the process sure would have been a lot easier (and safer!) using a Trailer Aid. Why this didn't happen on the side of the highway is still a mystery - talk about horseshoes! :W These tires are 4 yrs old, lots of tread left, but this particular failure wasn't caused by a nail, etc - it simply failed, the inner plies and steel belt having split open. :E Time to ditch the bunch of them so I'm replacing all four (keeping the unused spare as a spare) with a set of the new 8 ply Goodyear Endurance tires. So - even though I'll hopefully never need it my next purchase will be a Trailer Aid, my question being whether the extra height offered by the Trailer Aid Plus is necessary or whether the lower height Trailer Aid will suffice. :h Trailer is just 4700 lbs loaded, 22' 6" coupler to bumper, tires are ST205/75 R14.
