Joel -
I don't know if you need the wheel - that's why I was asking. But as the stem of the tongue jack hits the ground and bites in, I would hate to see it bend.
The high lift jack you mentioned is an interesting beast. I inherited one from my father, but I had never seen him use it, and I had no idea what it was. I kept it around for several years, and had just about talked myself into throwing it out, when suddenly I found myself needing to pick up the tongue of my boat trailer, from a position flat on the ground. Since it was on the ground, I couldn't get the pivoted tongue jack under it, it was too heavy to lift by hand, and I couldn't figure out how to raise it. The high-lift suddenly hit me like a bolt from the blue - my Dad's jack will lift from below ground level if needed, so it was perfect.
My high-lift now has a special place in my tool collection.
