CURT Trailer Jacks: A-Frame vs Swivel, Lift & Support Ratings
The correct trailer jack depends on more than the large capacity number in its product name. CURT specifies separate lifting and supporting capacities, as well as vertical travel and mounting style. These six jacks cover fixed A-frame installations and swing-away pipe-mounted designs with topwind or sidewind handles.
Before buying: match the jack to the trailer
Fixed A-frame or swivelling pipe mountA-frame models mount through the trailer tongue and retract in place. Pipe-mount swivel jacks require the correct weld-on receiver tube and can rotate out of the way for travel.
Lift capacity versus support capacityThe lifting limit governs actively raising the trailer tongue. The higher support number on some models applies while supporting a static load. Neither rating changes the trailer's allowable weight.
Handle clearance and travelChoose topwind or sidewind according to access around the trailer frame and coupler. Check retracted height, foot and ground clearance along with the listed travel distance.
Do not select solely by the highest printed rating. For example, CURT 28250 and 28354 carry 5,000-lb support ratings but only 3,000-lb lift ratings. Confirm the original jack mount, installation method and actual loaded tongue weight before ordering.
CURT jack ratings and mounting comparison
The figures below come from each exact CURT model's published specifications. A-frame and pipe-mount swivel designs are distinct installations; a handle style or matching capacity does not establish interchangeability.

Trailer jack questions
Is a 5,000-lb support jack rated to lift 5,000 lb?
Not necessarily. The 28250, 28354 and 28356 models in this comparison are rated for 3,000 lb lift and 5,000 lb static support. Use the lower lift rating when raising the trailer tongue.
What is the difference between 28202 and 28204?
Both are A-frame jacks with 2,000-lb lifting and 3,000-lb support ratings. The 28202 is topwind with 15 inches of travel; 28204 is sidewind with 14½ inches.
Can I bolt a pipe-mount swivel jack into an A-frame jack opening?
No direct replacement is established. Pipe-mount models use a dedicated welded pipe bracket and pull-pin swivel mechanism. Check the correct bracket, installation instructions and frame structure.
Will a topwind jack work where a sidewind jack used to be?
Only when the mounting, operating clearance, retracted height, stroke and load requirements all suit the replacement. Handle position alone is not sufficient.
Do these models include a caster wheel?
The selected configurations are jack models without a caster wheel. Confirm the exact foot and any optional wheel's rating and tube size before adding an accessory.

Always support and chock the trailer safely during installation, and follow CURT's mounting and maintenance instructions for the chosen jack.
