- Mount Type: Weld-on pipe-mount for custom frames or A-frame for standard setups.
- Swivel Action: Allows 360-degree rotation to clear obstacles during travel.
- Finish: Powder-coated for corrosion resistance, with some in premium black for aesthetics.
These features make CURT jacks versatile for everything from weekend camping to full-time RVing, fitting seamlessly into broader Leveling & Stabilization systems.
Comparing CURT Trailer Jack Models
With three standout options, CURT provides tailored choices for different needs. The CURT 28354 Weld-On Pipe-Mount Swivel Trailer Jack offers 10 inches of vertical travel, perfect for compact setups where space is limited. Its straightforward weld-on design integrates directly into pipe frames, providing stable support without unnecessary bulk.
For more lift, the CURT 28356 Weld-On Pipe-Mount Swivel Trailer Jack extends to 15 inches of travel, ideal for trailers needing greater height adjustment. Both weld-on models shine in custom or utility applications, sharing the same 5,000 lbs capacity and swivel functionality for hassle-free operation.
If your trailer has an A-frame tongue, the CURT 28250 A-Frame Trailer Jack is the match, with 14-1/8 inches of travel and a durable carbide black powder coat finish. This model drops into place easily, offering a sleek look and superior rust protection for frequent outdoor use.

Choose based on travel needs: shorter for basic stabilization, longer for uneven terrain. All integrate well with other Exterior RV accessories.
Common Use Cases for CURT Trailer Jacks

Pair them with wheel chocks or blocks for ultimate stability. For those exploring alternatives, brands like Lippert Trailer Jacks or VEVOR Trailer Jacks offer different features, but CURT's balance of strength and swivel action often wins for reliability.
