Why ? trailer jacks so tall ?
Many complain that they can not open the tailgate on their pickup while hitched to their trailer . Me too ! My jack is ten or eleven inches taller than needs to be ! Probably the same for most of you...

Simple, replace the standard jack with a "low profile" jack.
The big downside with low profile jacks is the range of height that they are able to lift, I have seen low profile jacks with as little as 14" lift.
If you have a Tractor Supply store handy, go and see what they have available that might not be as tall. Just be aware that the low profiles will often need extra blocking or a removable foot in order to get enough lift range.
