Most axles are not to be jacked, so that is even worse.
When I stored outdoors, I lowered the tongue and stacked blocks right behind the rear axle up to the frame. Then I raised the front just a bit above level and stacked blocks near the front. After lowering the front onto the blocks, all or nearly all of the weight was off the tires. I left some of the weight on the tongue jack as well. This works great on a smaller trailer, but an exceptionally long one might take more stacks.
Anyway, it didn't cost much and the trailer wasn't sitting on expensive plastic.
