I highly recommend this Hi-Power Jack made by Barker and sold at Camping World for a very good price (only $215 if you're a member of their President's Club). This one has a light (for night use) and it lifts 3000 lbs (which sounds like overkill...but isn't if you use it as I do to lift the tow vehicle and trailer together to simplify WDH spring bar hookup). I've had zero problems after using it on dozens of trips since installation last summer. Fairly straightforward installation...the 2" model bolts right in; all that's needed is to run a heavy power wire (with 30 amp circuit breaker) from the battery. Makes hooking and unhooking a lot faster (especially the attachment/detachment of the spring bars)...and I no longer break into a sweat on hot days.
