JACKING UP YOUR T/T

Single tire change on the road? Bottle jack under the U-bolt.
Suspension work at home? Hydraulic floor jack on the frame and two pair 12 ton jack stands to then support the frame.

I have enough storage space that I bought a small rolling floor jack.

And yes.....check the nuts holding your spare in place. Most likely a different size than your actual lug nuts.

I use a bottle jack positioned as mentioned above on the axle of interest. Beware that your lug nuts holding the spare may be a different size than those on the axles.

WE HAVE TRAILER AID+ AND LOVE IT. HAVE USED TO GREASE WHEEL BEARINGS, SO EASY

I’m a ramp guy...homemade...on the good tire.

If the springs are under the axle, simply place a scissors jack under the U-bolt plate.

If the axle is under the spring, make a block that contacts the u-bolts and the axle for the scissors jack to spread the load. I made shock mounts that have jack points.

I suggested a scissors jack because they are more stable and will have a low height for changing a flat tire.

If you have torsion axles, you may have to jack the frame.

Andersen makes a "wedge" to life one axle of a tandem axle TT.

Some people use a ramped leveled similar to your wedge block. I've got a 9 ton bottle jack and blocks of wood. I can add blocks under the jack if needed and I place the piston to lift on the ibeam next to the spring perch by the flat tire.

As you did with your car trailer....good wheel up on blocks

Jack flat tire up by axle.....place jack under spring perch and jack it up

Buy a 'trailer aid' to use in place of blocks


Carry LOTS of wood to use as cribbing to build platform for jack so you can raise TT via frame


Personally I just use a jack under the spring perch
