Every guy I now has dropped his tailgate on his trailer jack at some point.
Instead of moving the Trailer Jack back, I had my installed on a pivot.
Pretty simple for any fab guy with a welder.
It's two tubes of thick steel, one fits just inside the other.
weld one to the Trailer Jack, and one to the Trailer (outside the rail)
Drill it thru at 90 degree angles (Up or Sideways) and use a Pin to set the angle.
I have also a pre made version that bolts onto the frame rails and uses a spring loaded latch, but I like the hard set pin of the manual style, it seems more reliable.
