I found that the jack for my F250 fits perfectly under my trailer axles, and I put it under the U bolt shackles as everyone says. My truck's jack has a wide pad on top that works great - I can also also put a larger wood or metal pad on it if I think it needs it (I have various pieces of stuff in my shed - wife calls it junk!). Also, the extra long rod that comes with the truck jack is great, I can get the jack basically anywhere and still jack things up.
Not only does the truck jack work great, but I know I can change a flat TT tire if needed while on a trip.
I have also used my roller jacks when appropriate - I put wooden blocks on top as pads.
You may find you don't need to "jack" the trailer up much to get the wheels off.
