Trailer Aid Plus

I use one similar to THIS. It works well, but sometimes I need to put a board, or two, under it to get enough height.

Not on my fiver, but it did lift it enough to let me get a bottle jack under the axle

Like I said above, just stick a couple of boards under the ramp. If more than one is needed, stagger them so the tire first hits the ramp, then the ramp rolls up on the boards. You probably already have the boards anyway, and it works great! No need for the bottle jack.

Easier just to use a jack in the first place. And, I have had LOTS of experience changing trailer tires

Trailer Aid works very well. I used it a couple of times on my Mobile Suites 36 ft very heavy 5er. Had to put one 2x6 under it to get a better lift.

A 1x6 under mine works well.
I think the TrailerAidPlus lifts a bit higher than the original.
I used a bottle jack once. Never again. But I still carry it.

Depends on the suspension you have. I had the Mor-Ryde 4000 that had 4 inches of travel and Trailer Aid didn't even get close to getting the tires off the ground even with 2x6 under it. I sold it to a guy with a TT that just had leaf springs and worked like champ...

Worked well with my 18K 07.5 MS with TrailAire suspension. I did use a 2x under to get the tire off the ground. ThraileAid Plus is a GREAT tool! I used it to service the calipers and do brake jobs.

I have seen pics of what you are referring to broken. Very unsafe IMHO.

It works fine for me. I bought the aluminum type because I was afraid the plastic ones might break. I used it about a month ago to service my wheel bearings.
