I did this on the exact same camper in a parking lot in Gila Bend Az a few years ago. I had a shackle fail while returning from the dunes. I have 4 6X6 blocks I always carry to go under my levelers. I placed two under my frame fore and aft of the side I was working on. I used 6 ton jacks on them to lift one side, removed the tires and replaced the shackles and equalizers. I used a compressor I always carry and an impact wrench to remove the hardware. I had no trouble aligning everything to put it back together. I repeated the procedure when I got home on the other side. I used the Dexter equalizer with the rubber cushion in it, worked great. It came with wet bolts and the shackles were 3 times thicker than stock.
