I'd suggest to place the jack underneath the spring shackle.

All you need to do is lift one end of the axle instead of the whole side of the trailer.
Jacking under the axle next to the U bolt or the U bolt itself on a std leaf spring suspension works fine and there will be no damage to the axle.
If your going to lift one side of the trailer from the frame I would suggest using two jacks next to the farthest apart spring hangers. That way less chance of a bent frame from a single jack point on a heavy trailer.
Whatever method you use make a dry run at home.

I put my bottle jack under the axle, directly under the spring and just barely lift the tire off the ground. Always have, always will. May not be according to recommendations. But more stable than using blocks and/or extending the jack enough to lift the frame enough to get that same tire off the ground.
