Ok so I have a smitybilt Scout and the two rear jacks are nice but the boot slips and actually I noticed bent when I was setting the trailer up the first time. I want to get a toe hitch jack, that would stabilize the triangle design. Not sure about you folks but the trailer sags to the left because the wheel jack is on one side. Anyone have this issue or solve it with a better design?

Is it the length of the jack? Or the foot?
I ended up making a foot for the tow hitch because the wheel just does not work. It seemed the position of the wheel jack just does not support the weight. Maybe the cheap jack does not help. I still use the wheel but when parked and set it’s nice to level it out with the durablock.

Did that solve the sag?

Actually yes! When at camp it’s nice to have a level rig again. The three points of contact as a tripod work out better than having two back flat legs and a wheel on the front. It add time to the set up and take down of the trailer but the piece of mind is nice knowing there is a sturdy spot up front.

Nice! It's great solving issues without breaking stuff or spend. Lots of $$$$$ on a simple fix!
