Change a single tire I jack on the U-bolt.
Major work I jack on the frame and support with four 12 ton jack stands under the frame.
My experience has been 2 floor jacks under each spring perch on 1 side; swap tires; do the other side. After 4 sets of tires, I have no axle issues. I also jack each wheel up every year to check and grease bearings the same way. (shrug)
