Asking for trouble if you put the jack under the curved U bolt.
Put it under the lowest spring leaf next to the axle. A flat surface not prone to slipping.
Or you could buy, or make, something like THIS.

With the tire flat how do you get that under the axle?
Well, given that my 12t lo-pro jack is < 8" tall, you could easily angle it under the axle, between the u-bolts and stand it upright. Especially as the axle is angled upwards from the flat to the inflated tire.

Thanks, just seems so much easier to simply pull up onto something under the good tire (and safer).
