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...

I don't like the Trailer aid because it puts too much weight on one axle. Using a jack under the U-bolts only lifts one axle, leaving the other tire on the ground still supporting 1/2 the weight. I have no idea if it really matters, it's just my concern.


If you have a flat isn't all the weight on the remaining axle on that side?
