Fifth wheel jack points
My Mobile Suites owners manual sez to jack the trailer up at the frame. Why the frame? Why not at the axle spring shackle?

I've had my MS off the ground more than most, replaced an axle, removed the Center Point junk, completed a 4 wheel alignment....... If I'm working on the axles I jack under the spring pads and set the frame on truck stands. If I just need a wheel or two off the ground it's under the spring pads only with bottle jacks. You can't bend the axle by jacking under the pads, that is transfering the weight through the welded on axle pads to the axle. If you jack on the axle tube, yes you will bend the axle and probably ruin it. There is an easy way to lift the trailer and get it on stands, if interested, PM me.
