flat tire

So, they just tell everyone to put the jack on the frame.

Makes some sense but what if the bottom of your frame is like 24" above the ground? Our is like that and I did try jacking the frame up at first but found I needed to use cribbing to get the jack up high enough to reach the frame. If a person didn't realize this and have some suitable pieces of 2x4 or 4x4 with them, they could be SOL. Jack stands would need some cribbing too. And def. don't jack a trailer up and not use jack stands. That could be a lot of cribbing to carry around - providing you don't accidentally use it for firewood.

I also found having to tip the trailer over enough to raise the other wheel was kind of unnerving and that was on flat ground. If you were pulled over onto a road shoulder that sloped, it could end up being precariously tipped?
