Jacking up a Fifth Wheel
I posted this on another forum, but didn't get much of a response. I have a 2011 Open Range fifth wheel. I just purchased the Morryde wet bolt kit and will be replacing the original tires with GY Endu...

I jacked mine up one side at a time. You don't need to get the whole trailer jacked up all at once, but have to get all the weight off the axles to get the bolts swapped out. I also upgraded the suspension to the SRE4000 equalizer with the crossmember if you haven't done/considered that yet. Made a world of difference with bumps and wind and not too costly.
Thanks for this info, I am considering doing this to our 2017 Vilano. How hard of a job was it overall? What tools did you need? I have jack stands for the frame. Did you do the wet bolt kit at the same time you did the SRE4000 and the crossmember? I was given a tip to use a pair of HD Ratchet straps around the Axles to pull them closer together so the SRE units could be put into place easier.
