"If I had to do any spring repair I would use the jack that came with my truck."
I highly recommend that you invest in a bottle jack and a jack stand or two (cheap at HF). I will never bet my life on just a jack, much less a standard vehicle jack. If you have to get under your trailer to make a repair it is unlikely the ground will be smooth, flat and stable. Yep, one more thing to carry but I will not work under a trailer without one. :C
