Electric Tongue Jack

Wanting to replace my manual tongue jack with electric. Trailer loaded is 4750lbs with tongue weight of 530lbs. So should I size the new jack for just tongue weight?

You won't as you're unlikely to find an electric tongue jack rated at less than 2500 lbs, 3500 lbs being more common, with some rated to 5000 lbs. For your trailer any garden variety TJ with a 2500 to 3500 lb rating would work just fine.

Basic tongue jacks are rated for 2,000 lbs. and that's more than you need! So pick the brand you prefer and you'll be good to go.

Thanks guys!

If using a WDH you will want to lift the rear of your TV as well, to easily attach the tension bars. So take that in consideration as well. Go big.

In a manual tongue jack, sure, and one can even buy a 1000 lb rated version. However, the OP wants an electric tongue jack and since I've never seen any electric tongue jack rated at less than 2500 lbs can you provide a link to a 2000 lb version? Also as noted, one in most cases is not lifting just the trailer tongue but also the rear of the TV in order to more easily mount WD spring bars so a higher rated tongue jack is never a bad thing.

The WDH is why a I am wanting the new jack. Guess I shoulda mentioned that in the orginal post. I have takedn the weight of it into consideration as well. Thanks

Deleted, Never Mind, just wasn't worth commenting on.

This is the one I purchased & it has outstanding reviews.

3650# your choice black or white, about $130

JACK QUICK

Get the biggest one you can afford. I recommend the Barker brand.
You might have a larger trailer one day and will already have the tongue jack.

A 3500 lb jack of the brand of your choice will serve you well.
