I find it odd that an accepted method of flat tire repair is to pull the TT up on blocks under one axle so that the flat tire is suspended in air. No one seems to have a problem with that, yet, suspending wheels for less than two feet at very low speeds produces preditions of dire results.
I don't see it as that much of a big deal, quite frankly.
Very poor scenario compared to what the OP suspension/trailer frame is going through.
The OP front axle/tires are completely off the ground which is nothing at all like a ramp under one tire to raise the tire next to it. This leaves the trailers frame un-supported where the chassis engineers required two axles for the frame. Not only unsupported but now it has the weight of one axle just hanging adding even more stress to the trailers frame. Keep in mind this isn't a one shot deal but maybe happen many times a year.
Guess we read different forums/threads as everyone is not on board with ramping one tire to raise another....myself included.
