Jacks for the Trailer and the Trail
Two different jobs share this section. Trailer jacks lift a coupler off a ball and hold a tongue level while you hitch. Off-road jacks lift a stuck truck out of a hole, on ground that is rarely flat. The mounts that carry one where you can reach it are in here too.

Measuring your bed
Put a tape measure inside the bed, from the inside of the bulkhead (front wall) to the inside of the closed tailgate. Round to the nearest inch — a 69" measurement is a 5'8" bed.
Bed length is measured inside the box, not along the outside of the truck.
Still unsure? Leave it blank to see every length that fits your truck, or call 888-865-4024.
On the trailer side, CURT lists the Quick Drop and Power Stance jacks. These are the ones that decide whether hitching on your own is a two-minute job or a wrestling match.
On the recovery side, Rampage lists off-road jacks along with mounts, and Go Rhino, Rugged Ridge, Smittybilt, Warn and Fabtech list mounting hardware for carrying a jack on a bumper, a rack or a roll bar. A jack buried under everything else in the bed is a jack you cannot get to at the moment you need it.
Both kinds want a solid lift point. On a trailer that is built in. On a truck it is a bumper or a slider rated to take the load, and that is worth sorting out before you are standing in mud working out where to put the foot of a jack.
Common Questions
Can I use my factory jack off-road?
Not really. A scissor or bottle jack needs firm, flat ground and a small lift point, which is exactly what you do not have when a truck is buried. Off-road jacks lift high, work from a bumper or a slider, and can pull as well as lift. Carry the factory jack for flat tires on pavement and something else for everything past that.
Why do I need a jack mount?
Because a loose jack in the bed slides, rattles and ends up under the load. A mount puts it on a bumper, a rack or a roll bar where it is reachable in seconds and not doing damage the rest of the time. The mounts here are built for particular bumpers and vehicles, so match yours before ordering.
What is the difference between a trailer jack and an off-road jack?
A trailer jack is fixed to the tongue, and its job is to raise and lower the coupler so you can hitch and unhitch on your own. An off-road jack is a portable tool for lifting a vehicle high on uneven ground, using a bumper or slider as a lift point. They are not interchangeable, and people who tow and wheel own both.
