The way I did mine, was to hook up the truck and raise the front jacks. That way the front end is supported by the truck and hitch. Then I took some 6x6s and made a platform to rest my 12 ton jack on. I used a metal plate to spread out the lifting area of the jack on the trailer frame. I placed my jack behind the rear spring hanger for the back axle and in front of the front spring hanger for the front axle. I made two trips to the tire shop.
I could have jacked up the trailer by putting the jack under the axles, and many people have done it, but Murphy is never on my side so I did not chance it.
