Dumb question I just thought of. Have some people done this with one side of the trailer still on the ground - wheels weighted? Most of the (great) pics in this thread show both ends being jacked at the same time. I'm full time in a 22'TT and barely have the equipment and blocking to get one side off the ground at a time (going to buy a cheap bottle jack to go with my floor jack, and chop up a couple extra 4x4's tomorrow).
I'll answer the question NO don't do it...you must have the weight off both sides of the axle or you will have problems. You'll will have the weight on the wheels on the ground and the axle spring point acting like the fulcrum point once you disconnect the opposite side. I'm talking about disconnect the spring attachments, not greasing.
