When shopping for tongue jacks, what is the support capacity weight listed based on?  I see most A-Frame jacks come in 1,000, 2,000, or 5,000 pound ratings.

I need a new A-Frame tongue jack for my 19' travel trailer which has a GVWR of 4,700 lbs.  I've been using my Hi-Lift jack in the meantime.  Thanks.

Edit: nevermind, further review says it's based on tonque weight.  A 2K pound jack should be fine for me then.
