Bottle jack under bottom spring leaf next to axle. No problems other than awkward spot to wriggle block & jack under. Done it this way more times than I'd like to try to count.
Yeah, I was wondering why one can't just use the auto lift jacks if you have those.
I had to do that the one time I had a flat on the road. My HF 6t bottle jack would not lift one end of one axle on my 11,360 GVW FW (which I was NOT happy about!). The screw jack from my D'max lifted it just fine. I did buy a 12t lo-pro jack from HF, and carry that in my FW. With the new FW, that has pass-through storage, I may get a floor jack to carry, instead; but then I may just stick with the 12t bottle jack. :B

Can't go too far wrong having a 12 ton bottle jack handy. Good for more than just one wheel. Used mine for lifting a rear wheel of the truck, with trailer on it, to get board under it & get out of a stuck situation.
