Supporting trailer during winter storage

[Fish'n Lewi]

Hey all....lovin this place so far.

Got a question... I will have my boat in the garage over the winter months and want to get the weight off the axle/wheels/bearings, where is the best place to support? Under the trailer behind the wheel wells (I was going to run a span of 2 2x10's across or do I raise it on the axle itself.

Thanks!

If you want to get the weight off the axles, support it under the trailer frame.

really no need to raise it off... the majority of trailers are stored on the ground, I have YET to hear of any actual problems from it, other than possibly flat spotted tires that go away after a couple miles of driving in the spring.
