Best method for jacking up 5er
Recently purchased used 5th wheel (first one) and wanted to jack it up to pull wheels and inspect brakes. I was told by an RV mechanic to leave it hitched and than jack it up. Less strain on 5er frame...

I use a bottle jack under the axle between the U bolts under the springs and jack one wheel at a time an inch of so off the ground. Not hitched to the truck.
X2! One axle at a time with bottle jack under the spring perch. Opposite side wheels CHOCKED, too. All 3 sets of tires I've had installed have been done at Discount Tire and the FW was jacked under the spring perches while hitched, 2 wheels on a side at one time. =Maybe= 2" off the ground.
