Replacing 4 tires (jacking up)
Need to replace all tires. Where do I jack up? Do I do one tire at a time? See attached view of axles. Also see jack instructions. Says to jack on axle - which I hear you should not do? Then...

Burb...
I am still working on getting my trailer road ready. So....it was my driveway or nothing. It was so simple. Well....I made it simple and very safe. I jacked up from a bracket in between 2 tires that was like 3/16" - 1/4" thick. both tires went up. Camper was not off kilter enough to fall the other way. It was a very slight angle. I used my truck jack. just did a little at a time. I release my stabilizers in unison. Not using to bear weight. Just as a backup. I would have probably gotten away with taking both tires off one side. But to be safe...I took one at a time off and the remaining one acted as my floor jack. So 2 stabilizers and one tire. Was going nowhere. The only dig was....I had to go back and forth down the street having one tire at a time put on rim. It was only a few blocks away. No big. But I'm sore today. So happy it's done. Just about ready to get on road.
As for the pics. Ok - I get it. I did not realize the background stories.
Thanks All for your pics and help. I love this forum.
