Using Leveling Jacks to Change a Tire?
Hi, Can you safely use the leveling jacks to raise the tires on one side of the trailer to change a tire (or in my case so that I can adjust the brakes)? And if so, what is the best way to do this? ...

Factory doesn't recommend it but it has been done.
CYA policy by the mfrs to cover themselves in case a truly stupid person does this without blocking the rig up some way while working on it. Capacity-wise, the jacks are likely fully capable of lifting the entire side with only 1 jack.
I leveled my new FW for the first time in front of my house and had the same issue. Passenger side tires were about 3" off the ground due to a fairly extreme crown in the road and gutter. No big deal, as I was not using the fridge nor camping in it. :B
