Jacking to change a tire or service brakes or bearings?

I know this has been beaten to death, but my situation is a little different than most of the threads I see here. I have towed a lot of different trailers a lot of miles, and have changed tires in gas...

Sorry but I place the jack directly I n the axle and lift! While many would like you to think these axles are made of tin foil, they are strong enough to support the load the tire is carrying. If they were so thin jacking would dent it, then the first small pothole you hit the tire would be leaning out at 10 degrees!
