What jack do you use in case of a flat?
So far, in 8,000 miles of towing, I haven't had a flat, but there's always the first time. I'm not sure the jack in my truck would go under the axle of the trailer. What do you carry?

6 Ton bottle jack, placed under axel between spring shackle 'U' bolts. Only lifting the 1 wheel so no need to lift entire side of 5er from frame. Trailer Aid will not work on our rig since it has the Mor/Ryde suspension. Use this method each spring when inspecting brakes and repacking wheel bearings. Damage can only occur when lifting by the axel if you place the jack to far toward the center of the axel (center of trailer). When placed by the spring shackle toward the wheel no damage will occur.
