YEAh...just take Thunderstruck aka McThunderGyver with ya and ya covered!!!
That boy knows some magic!!!
Also nail some 2x4s (2,3 or 4) together so if you have a flat just pull trailer up on them and change the suspended flat.
and chocks
That way you don't have to worry about unloading the big jack and jackstands.

I take two spare tires and rims, a hub assembly that can replace a bad bearing (replace the whole hub). After splitting my lip with a tire iron (the cross bar type) and getting 14 stitches in my lip on July 4, I bought an 18V cordless impact with the right sockets. Never leave home with the trailer without the impact.
Make sure your jack is rated for big lbs, especially if you have torsion bar axles. You will have to lift the whole side of the trailer to change a tire with torsion bar axles. I have a 12 ton bottle jack.
The 2x4 is to replace the dust cap/buddy bearing with a good whack from a hammer and to support the jack on soft ground.
I would understand how to run your motor with the procharger belt off just in case. You move the air cleaner to the intake like it's stock and take the belt off.

Heard that the torsion bars axles aren't good for trip axle trailers because they won't shift the load back and forth like leaf springs. However, my trailer is almost perfectly level on my hitch so the effect is minimal on the tires if any.
