I often see experts on here saying that if you have one flat you should change all four because of the "overloading" that occurs on the other three.
I am putting on new brakes, how do I jack it up so that additional stress won't be transferred to the "off" tires?

People will say this will cause damage to the tire on the TrailerAid Plus. If your tires are harmed from this they will never last on the road since load is often moved fully from both tires to one.

This device is a much safer way to change out a bad tire or simply do maintenance.

I have read its a good idea to replace the one behind or in front of the one that blew or went flat while traveling, not much to do with just letting it sit on one when changing brakes or whatever.
Mine have sat on one at a time many times while packing wheel bearings ,and doing the brakes.

I lost a tire to road hazard this past winter, I made the one behind the lost tire a spare, I needed to upgrade the spare anyway, so now ,two new tires on that side of the fifth wheel .
