Upgrade your trailer's front support with a heavy-duty aluminum tongue jack rated at 8,000 lbs and built to resist corrosion mile after mile. The Lippert 433458 pairs a solid aluminum construction with a wide 9-inch footpad to distribute load across soft ground, gravel, or pavement -- all in a blacked-out finish that complements modern trailer aesthetics.
Steel tongue jacks get the job done, but they fight corrosion every season and add unnecessary weight to your hitch load. Lippert's aluminum tongue jack delivers the same 8,000 lb lift capacity as comparable steel units while shedding significant weight -- an important consideration when every pound affects your tow vehicle's payload rating.
At 20 lbs out of the box, this jack is manageable to install solo and does not change your tongue weight balance the way heavy steel alternatives can. The black powder-coat finish over aluminum resists rust and fading even after repeated exposure to road salt, rain, and UV.
Rated for heavy travel trailers and larger bumper-pull rigs. Handles loaded tongue weights with confidence.
Corrosion-resistant alloy body keeps weight down and eliminates the surface rust common on painted steel jacks.
Broad square footpad spreads load to prevent sinking into soft soil, gravel pads, or asphalt in summer heat.
Clean matte black appearance matches black-accented trailer frames and undercarriage hardware.
Lippert Components -- parent company to the well-known Atwood, Bulldog, and Stromberg Carlson trailer hardware brands -- offers tongue jacks across a wide capacity range from 2,000 lbs up to 12,000 lbs and beyond. The 433458 sits in the upper-mid range at 8,000 lbs, making it ideal for loaded travel trailers in the 28- to 38-foot range where a standard 5,000 lb jack would be undersized but a 12,000 lb electric jack would be overkill.
This is a manual crank jack -- no motor, no wiring, no battery drain. That is a deliberate advantage for owners who prefer simplicity, reduced failure points, and the ability to operate the jack even when the trailer's 12V system is down.
The Lippert 433458 is designed for A-frame trailer tongues and mounts using a standard weld-on or bolt-on top-wind mounting plate common across the majority of production travel trailers. The jack uses a top-mounted crank handle, which is the most common configuration on trailers from Forest River, Keystone, Heartland, Grand Design, and Coachmen.
The 433458 mounts to the trailer tongue using existing bolt holes on most A-frame rails. Standard install requires removing the old jack, transferring or replacing mounting hardware, and bolting the new unit in place. The 21.25-inch overall height (as shipped) determines ground clearance when retracted -- verify retracted height suits your hitch and travel clearance before ordering.
