As was mentioned, do a little on the front jack, a little on the rear jack and keep going until the tires are off the ground.
I am gonna be replacing tires, and repack bearings, adjust inspect brakes, etc.
This would be a real Pain in the a$$ having to do one axle at a time. Not looking to make a bunch of trips to the tire shop.
Ive never attempted this, but was thinking maybe 2 bottle jacks, placing one in front of the front axle on the frame, and another behind the rear axle on the frame. Get it up and set it on jackstands, then lift the other side same way and set that on jack stands. I have heavy duty stands and stuff, just don't wanna be bending the trailer up. Boat and trailer weigh 12000lbs together. C Channel Myco triple axle with leaf springs. .
