Dtank wrote:"No big deal to do it that way." Yeah, right. Have you ever tried to change a tire alongside the road by jacking the frame high enough to get that tire off the ground?
Well let's see......all the folks that offered their preferred method
will warranty any errors you - or the tire shop make, right?..:@
BEST answer for your question - especially since you felt the need to ask.....is check with your trailer and AXLE manufacturer - rather than folks on an internet forum...:R
Just 'cause they've done it their way - doesn't mean you or the tire shop will. It's not *their* trailer..:S..
BTW - call it CYA posters, but most trlr and axle mfgrs will recommend jacking under the frame. No big deal to do it that way.
