I have a triple axle toy hauler and it came with flipped axles..How do you change tires on the center axle? Bottle jack? If so do i lift it on the frame since there is no good spots on the axle since ...

I use a $30 portable 2 ton floor jack available from Harbor Freight or most any hardware store. I've had a bottle jack kick out too many times due to weight shifting while lifting under a round axle. The floor jack is small and light enough to carry in my storage compartment and feel it is much safer.
Yeah I was leaning towards the floor jack idea because of the reason u mentioned the surface of the bottle jack on the curved axle I don't feel safe. Is the 2 ton jack enough to lift the axle?
I last used one on mine to replace tires. I only have a double axle but empty weight of my TT is 7269 lbs. Loaded weight is 11,170. With the 2T jack I'm not lifting the entire TT, only lifting an axle with some trailer weight high enough to get the wheel off.
