It's CYA lawyerese to keep Bubba from lying with his chest under a brake disc and having a simultaneous catastrophic hydraulic system failure due to a line rupture, etc. You can bet that if I ever have to change a tire, I'll use the jacks. The jacks are rated for more than the tires, if that's any comfort. Lippert says the jack ratings are "sufficient for your coach" - sounds like the old Rolls Royce statement that horsepower of their engines was "adequate". ;)

I used mine last week to change a flat. Then after the second tire blew, with no more spares, I left the rig jacked up on i-95 while I went for all new tires. I had no choice. A lot safer than a bottle jack and wood.
