Abstract
Trailer jack attachment assemblies which do not extend below the lowermost frame member of the trailer body so as to avoid increasing obstruction from roads and rough terrain. Attachment is made to the trailer frame without destroying its structural integrity. Cross braces between laterally opposite attachments minimize localized twisting of individual frame members.
