What is the best location to jack up a 5th wheel to change a tire! Axel or frame?
For the "official" correct answer -
check your owner's manual - and the recommendations by your axle mfgr.
Don't have one or the other? (or both) - call the mfgr's tech line.
You will find almost all recommend jacking under the frame.
It's no big deal to do it that way, and other methods may be quicker and/or easier.
So - are there other acceptable ways to do it?
Sure.
However, *if* you follow the other methods - with bad results for whatever reason - the folks recommending same won't be paying for your repairs, *YOU* will..:W
Since they don't know your mechanical abilities - a disclaimer should be included with their advice..;)
Your trailer, your choice:
Mfgr or folks on an Internet forum?..:@

Like they'd pay even if you =did= follow their recommendation...
