    Update: took a better look at the jack. There appears to be a larger than normal Allen screw that I can loosed and adjust the height. I'll let you know after I go to the store and get a wrench. If this works, that Jack will be the Mack Daddy!

      JMO - On my 02 Ramlin I had the standard jack....but the mounting "box" was itself bolted to a welded 3 sided piece on the trailer that stuck out about 1/2 inch....did yours have this? also - do the u-bolts interfere with the folding tongue?

        Yes I did, I (very carefully) cut off the mounting bracket to accommodate mounting the new jack. I used a tiger saw with an extra long blade to cut through the welds so the actual box frame of the trailer wasn't touched outside of picking up a few scratches that I touched up with auto paint.

        Once it was on the bolts weren't in the way, though the bolts that came with mine were a little to long as the ends aren't threaded all the way, so I put some brackets on there to act as spacers - you can see them in the picture I posted. Ideally I would call up Fulton and get more properly sized bolts, but it works just fine.

          I mounted mine on the trailer right behind the welded bracket where the other one was. I went to Lowes and bought some correct length U-bolts. And the allen screw worked wonders (had to loosen the crank also), it's high enough now.

            I had to replace the trailer jack on my Ram-lin trailer last year, because I could hardly crank it up/down. Took it apart and the gears looked fine. I ended up ordering a replacement from Mid-Ohio. The replacement was a Bulldog rated at 1500# and an exact fit. Recommend calling your local shop and ordering a new one.
            bumping this old thread to find out WHAT THIS REPLACEMENT IS
