No need to lift a bunch on frame. You only need to lift axle an inch, with a bottle jack, or floor jack.
I have a 2x4 piece of oak, about 8"s long, with a da-do in center, that just cups a U-bolt. This works great at home, using a bottle jack under it.
I also use my Trailer-Aid plus, which will lift front or rear tire high enough.
Using some boards cut and stacked will work too, best if on solid surface.
Hooking to vehicle is a good choice, adding stability!

Do you have a pic of the wood piece you use with bottle jack?
Thanks
Here you go!
Nutin fancy, just a heavy block, full two inches thick, that can be placed under either U-bolt.
Jerry, thanks for the pic. Really explains how the groove would sit over the u bolt.
When do you use the block and bottle jack method vs the Trailer Aid Plus method? Is there an advantage of one over the other?
BTW....did you also read where the Trailer Aid Plus only worked on torsion axles?
Thanks!
