This replacement drop foot is designed to slip into most standard 2,500 lb capacity square trailer jacks and restore a secure contact point between the jack and the ground. It’s zinc‑coated to help resist corrosion and to visually match many zinc‑plated jacks in common use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this drop foot fit my trailer jack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost importantly, check the land measurement and capacity: this part is made to fit 1 3\/4\" square inner tubes used by many 2,500 lb capacity jacks. It accepts a cotter pin in one of five height positions to lock it at the right level. If your jack tube is a different size or the insertion style differs, this foot may not be compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInner tube size: 1 3\/4\" square standard fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated compatibility: intended for 2,500 lb capacity square jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeight options: five pin positions to match your preferred setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFastening: secures with jack’s existing cotter pin (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the zinc coating help outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zinc plating provides a protective barrier that slows oxidation and corrosion compared with raw steel. While it doesn’t make the part impervious to weather, it extends service life and keeps the finish consistent with many zinc‑plated jacks. Regular cleaning and inspection will still prolong performance in wet or salty conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrosion resistance: zinc slows rust formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVisual match: blends with common zinc‑plated jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintenance: wipe clean and inspect periodically\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLongevity: reduces need for premature replacements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install the replacement drop foot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward: remove the damaged foot, slide this replacement into the jack’s inner tube, align the desired height hole, and secure with the jack’s cotter pin. No special tools are required beyond standard pliers for the cotter pin. Always support the trailer and follow safe lifting procedures before working on the jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemove: lower or raise jack to remove old foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInsert: slide replacement into 1 3\/4\" square tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlign: choose one of five height positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecure: insert cotter pin (not included) to lock in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the practical benefits of replacing only the drop foot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwapping the foot instead of the whole jack saves money and time while reducing waste. You restore a stable base that protects the jack tube from further damage and preserves the jack’s lifting mechanism. It’s a fast repair that gets your trailer back in service with minimal downtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCost‑effective: cheaper than a full jack replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuick fix: minimal disassembly and fast reinstall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParts preservation: keeps the main jack intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental: generates less metal waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: this Sturdy Built replacement drop foot is for trailer owners, DIYers, and fleet managers who have a square 2,500 lb capacity jack and need a reliable, low‑cost repair option. It’s ideal when the jack body is sound but the ground contact portion is corroded, bent, or lost; anyone comfortable with simple hand tools can perform the swap safely. If you’re unsure about dimensions or load requirements, confirm your jack’s specifications before ordering to ensure proper fit and safe operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does this drop foot include the cotter pin?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, the cotter pin is not included; use your jack’s existing pin or purchase one separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can this fit jacks with a different square size?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, it is designed specifically for 1 3\/4\" square inner tubes; other sizes will not fit securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Sturdy Built","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48082899239070,"sku":"B0B6CWTSPL","price":63.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/sturdy-built-front-packaging-replacement-drop-foot.jpg?v=1785818828","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/sturdy-built-replacement-drop-foot-for-trailer-jacks-1-3-4-square-zinc-coated-fits-2-500-lb-jacks-5-position","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
