Takes time & planning but easy to do.
While still on truck jack & block at the frame aft of the rear wheels. Remove the truck or leave it if you don't need it to transport the wheels. The landing leg motors will protest some at the added weight lifting fwd of the blocks so helping with a bottle jack at the fwd frame might be necessary.
Better to transfer trailer weight onto blocks than trust bottle jacks to hold it, especially if the jacks are lifting near their limits.
