My trailer jack was failing and I needed it replaced. Went to a local shop where they came out and took a look at my set up.
They told me they would need to cut off the old jack, weld a new bracket on, color match the paint on the trailer and then install the new jack. I would need to plan ahead as they would need two days to complete the work.
Seemed a little sketchy as it is a single nut holding the jack in place. Drove over to Shadow Trailers and they told me it was an easy fix. It took them less than thirty minutes to take off the old jack and install the new one. They had to slightly drill out the pin lock hole to accommodate the newer style pin that is a little larger. No cutting, no welding and no paint work.
Great service at Shadow, just like their location in Cypress CA. a reminder that a second opinion doesn’t hurt.
