How screwed am I ? Boneheaded jacking mistake

So I screwed up pretty good and jacked my trailer mistakenly by the axel mounting plate and bent it pretty good right in front of the rear wheel bolt, the welds appear to still be good and don’t see any other obvious damage. I have a big trip coming up very soon and hoping it’s still good to pull

  • Might, but not likely to change alignment of axle.
    But my major question is do you now have a method to jack up trailer without more damage? And can you do it at side of road in the rain, with traffic flying by your donkey?
