I'd prefer to lift each tire rather than lift the trailer frame, but not understanding the instructions in the service manual Located here Instructions are on page 4, and trying to understand It is permissible to jack up a unit equipped with a MORryde Independent Rubber Suspension System only on the Beam Assembly under the Rubber Springs" That appears to be on an angle, so how would I use a bottle jack to raise the wheel?
Trying to raise the wheel as opposed to lifting the whole frame up on one side.

I did make them. They are 3/4" AC solid core plywood glued with Permatex PL3 and screwed. There are no internal supports even with 17,500# setting on the four. The front boxed are longer and do have a pc of 3/4" plywood mid way vertical. They are holding up well with 6 years of full-time use.
I cut all the pcs from one pc of plywood.
Very nice.
Not sure how I would store them. I'm already over GVWR in the trailer, and don't have a lot of free space. Could see about making room in the truck bed.

Those are very nice blocks. For a different application I made these. My blocks are 1’x1’x2”, 1 1/4” (ie 1.25") sub floor plywood and 3/4” plywood glued (Gorilla glue) and screwed together. The cut corners eliminate the sharper square corners. They can be stacked as needed. The rope loop makes them easy to retrieve with any pole and to carry. They are also useful for securing picnic table covers, mats, etc. in windy conditions.
Nice! Smart move on using plywood as it doesn’t split.

These are the internal sensors that integrates with Ford TPMS monitor.
I don't know if there's a weight restriction on electric jacks, even then the rear jacks currently need something underneath as I ran out of stroke on the rear jacks. Currently have (2), 2x12 stacked under the rear jacks. I'm wondering why the rear jacks are on bolted on so close to the corplast underneath the trailer.
Are you on an unlevel site? Any RV I have ever owned the jacks would lift it up off the ground. Maybe get more boards?

Regardless connect the tow vehicle for fore-aft stability and raise any stabilizing jacks
Why not wait until you break camp and have it done? Or install TMPS sensors on the tire stems? Pros and cons to internal vs external sensors.

And what kind of TPMS? Most aftermarket ones just screw on to the shrader valve. Sounds like you have ones that need installed to the inside of the rim.
