Question Electric jack replacement advise

[Topo]

---

I’d like to swap out the manual crank on my 174RK Hideout. Spec says 4060lbs. I’m assuming a 4000 lb rated unit would work since we’re not talking about lifting the entire trailer. Am I wrong? Fully loaded it specs to about 5020 lbs.

Then, the other consideration is when I need to lift my truck a little to get the hitch weight distribution bars installed or removed.

Help understanding what capacity electric unit to get, would be most appreciated. There’s a 4000 lb one on the Amazon prime day special, but I’d like to make sure that will work before I grab it. Thanks

In my "lay" opinion you are correct. You are talking about tongue weight vs. trailer weight. A 4000lb tongue jack should lift your hitch just fine...I say "go for it before the deal expires"
