Need a New Trailer Jack Stand

[bd]

Due to a stupid mistake that I'd rather not talk about, I'm going to need to put a new jack stand on my Gheenoe trailer. 

Does anybody have any recommendations for one that's reasonably priced and easy for someone in the "mechanical doofus" category like me to install?

You can get them at Wal-Mart, Academy and maybe even Lowe's up there with out having to drive to Bass Pro.   

Just put the trailer on your truck, place the jack up to where you think you want it, collapse it horizontal to ensure it won't hit the truck, then its usually either 4 separate nuts/bolts or 2 "U" bolts/4 nuts to tighten down.

That's about it. Main thing is get it tight and to where it won't hit your truck when collapsed for travel.

...or if your boat is light enough that you can lift the tongue of your trailer and don't mind a non-adjustable jack stand, I have one you can have really really really cheap.

Tractor supply and Northern Tool have the cheapest prices in my area (starting at $17 or so).  I have driven off with the jack stand down more than once on both boat and landscape trailers.  

The swivel type mount with 4 bolts, it is a simple replacement job.
