Safest way to jack up the TT?

[HeyJude]

When we go to our lot next weekend we plan to put some boards under the tires. Question, can you safely jack up one side of the trailer at a time to put the board under the tires, or is there a special way to do this. We would pull it out and roll it over the tires if we had a truck, but we had it delivered and we don't have a truck big enough to move it. It is a Keystone Summerland 3030BH.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I really want to do this the right way, I don't want to bend or break anything.

You certainly can jack up the side of your trailer. How else would you change a flat? But, depending on the terrain, may be risky not attached to a tow vehicle.

Use a 12-20 ton for ease of use.

Boards are fine, I prefer the Lynx Levelers, even for just sitting under the tires.

Just do one wheel at a time and it will be fine.

PS.. what kind of TV are you looking at?

Thanks!

We don't have a TV, we had it delivered. So that is our dilemma.

Someone is bound to be around who meets two criteria:
1) They have a truck (for this small amount of movement, any 1/2 ton or higher should do fine).
2) Are willing to work for beer (offer a 6-pack and you might have an entire crew helping).

Seriously...ask around.

Jacking it up to put boards under the tires would be difficult because the springs would stretch out before the wheels would come off the ground. Hopefully there is someone there with a truck that will help pull it up on boards to level it. I would not want to just jack it up using the frame to lift it if I could avoid it. It will not take a super big truck to just move back and forth over a couple of boards.

Leave it on the ground. Not a big deal
