Scissor jack replacement
So unfortunately, I have a bent scissor jack on my 15 Springdale 270LE. I believe they're 2500lb rated. Question is, can I toss a 5000+ rated jack on there without issue or do I need to match it?

When the dealer broke my cheapo single arm stabilizer jack, I replaced both rear jacks at the same time with 5000 pound scissor jacks. The forklift driver moving the trailer had it too high, and the jack hit an asphalt curb. Nothing else damaged. They offered to replace it with a like jack, but I told them not to worry about it. I had already purchased the scissor jacks to replace them. I couldn't believe how flimsy they were, and how easy they were to pull off. The first one I ground on the welds a bit. The second one I didn't bother and it snapped right off. Since the front jacks are helped by the tongue jack, I'm not going to worry about them.
