Jacking points have nothing to do with the suspension.
I always prefer to jack under a section of the frame rail, near the flat tire, that is well reinforced. If you are don't feel that the frame can handle more than 50% of the gross weight of the trailer, buy a piece of 1/4"-1/2" steel a bit wider than the bottom of the frame rail and 6"-10" long. Place that between the top of the jack and the frame.
If you jack does not have enough lift, build up UNDERNEATH the jack with blocks of wood placed perpendicular to the jack base. Worst case you may need 2 or 3 layers.
Remember, scissors jack start to get unstable once the are past about 50% of their maximum lift.
Not cheap, but this has a built in jack stand so no chance of hydraulic failure injuring someone. Powerbuilt Unijack - 6000 lb. Capacity
