I'm trying to source a trailer jack like this one:
But instead of a pipe mount, I want a mount for a 1-1/2" receiver tongue. Other than fabbing something myself with a welder, has anyone seen something like this?
Can you weld? seems like this would not be a difficult welding project.
maybe you can bring your idea to a local weld shop

perhaps someone on this forum who live close to you can offer you a little favour. Maybe trade them, let them use your trailer for a long weekend.I can weld but alas, have no equipment. And around where I live in Bougie Central CA a welder would probably charge $1,500 for something.
But you’re right this should be simple and would be MUCH more stable than my wobbly single jack

In fairness to the local welder, that $1500 is probably broken down into $800 for 4’ of steel, $500 to PG&E (Price Gouging & Extortion?) for electrons, $200 to alimony…. A legit business expense!
I recommend that you go to Harbor Freight or similar and grab a 1-1/4” to 2” adapter. If that fits in there, you have a good starting point to weld solid legs on. Personally, I would figure out my desired height, make solid, removable legs that I carry somewhere else, lift the front with the tongue Jack, set it down in the solid legs, then level with jacks on the back.
If you pass through my neck of the woods and have the steel with you, I will buzz them out for you no problem, but I’ll need a few days warning.
