Easy Lift Trailer Jack - Anyone use one?

Says put it on the axle than move trailer forward or backward (depends on which way you put the jack on the axel) to make jack work.

I had one of these jacks back in the '70s. Used it on a Champion 18' stickie and only had to use it once. It did the job. I let it go with the Champion back in about '84.

The only problem I see is that most fiberglass trailers use a square torflex type axle instead of a round axle with springs. I don't know how this jack would act when trying to make it's way around a square tube.

Yeah Dexter says... don't jack on a torsion axle. But it may be the ticket for someone with a straight axle and springs. Of course, I'd want someone to tell me to STOP before I went completely over the thing and had to start from scratch. Think I'll stick with my BAL leveler
