How to lift each tire off the ground for service?

I have been using one of those yellow "Trailer Aid" devices to drive forward on (front axle) or reverse on (rear axle). It works, but I got to thinking, isn't there an easier way to get the job done ...

Why, please explain? I have jacked many up by putting the jack under the axle at the point where the ubolts meet the springs. I can understand not jacking mid point of the axle as this could cause the arch to be damaged.


Then u didn’t truly lift by the axle tube did you?

If I need to explain more, let me know.
