Ultimate Trailer Jack
Has anyone done business with this company? I have tried e-mail and no reply. Am thinking I would like to order one it sounds like the answer to my deep sloped driveway.

Have not personally used them, but it does look like a pretty sound solution. Not all that much more than a regular cranker.

Looks good and you can add a wheel to it.

I just received my new Ultimate Jack and it looks and feels awesome. I can't wait to install it! I had no problem ordering directly from Rentz in Hudson, FL and no problem calling them. It comes as jack alone or you can order a sandfoot or wheel or both along with it. It's going to save me from having to use a floor jack to raise the tongue to get my old swivel jack down when the ground clearance is not enough. The jack looks like it retracts to right about the bottom of the frame now even with the sandfoot on

Thanks for the info. Sounds like we have about the same problem, either have to run t truck on risers or use a floor jack to drop the jack down.

I can't recommend it highly enough. Solved all my jack issues.
I have both the foot and the dolly wheel.
2000# lifting, 3000# static.
By the way, in a previous post regarding this jack, it was asked if it interfered with the tailgate on a pickup. I have no problem with my '07 Silverado.

Sounds good. I have a 09 Avalanche so I shouldn't have problems. Good info.

Ordered and received Ultimate Jack, great customer service, arrived in a couple of days, great looking heavy duty jack. Can't wait to get trailer out of storage in 3 weeks. Thanks for the info.

I installed mine today. It was shipped FedEx from Florida and it arrived exactly one week after I ordered it. I had a 2" foot in the garage which fits perfectly.

I Installed the "ultimate jack" yesterday, it will make life a lot easier. Backed in the drive without scrapping the road or drive, and no heavy lift to get the jack set up. Live is good.

Ok I known this thread is old but I will take a chance and ask my question..
With the Ultimate Jack in the lowered position on a Scamp 16, does the crank handle hit the propane tank? Its looks to me like it will, the jack handle on my Scamp 16 is only about 2 inches above the tank. If it were tow inches lower it would hit the tank.
What is the length of the crank handle?

The crank handle extends 5½" beyond the barrel of the jack

Thanks, that's what I thought. I have 4 3/8 inches between the jack and the main part of the propane tank so the handle will hit the tank unless it is folded over (when the jack is lowered).
Still I think it might be the best solution, even if not ideal.
Best price I found on it (with shipping) is:
The Ultimate Jack Trailer A Frame Jack | eBay
With next best price at Tractor Supply (if buying in store).

Ultimate Trailer Jack opionion poll
So, it seems like a few of you have used it and I'm wondering what the final verdict was.
My new TV has a spare tire mount on the rear and leaves little space between the tire and jack. Thinking the Ultimate Jack would solve my problem as it's removable.
And what is the total length of the jack? I'm not able to find it on the website.

Kevin, Another challenge you may face with a new jack for the Compact is the diameter of the hole in the tongue plate where the jack is bolted in. I could not fit a standard size jack in my 1973 without enlarging that hole.
