Need to Jack trailer up....location for Jack and stands?

[toomuchclub_1113]

I'm gonna relieve some pressure on the tires today add some air and let the flat spots come back to life. Never jacked the trailer up before, just wondering the proper location for jack to be positioned and stands to be placed?<br /><br />1996 21ft wellcraft cuddy, ez-loader trailer.<br /><br />Thanks

Sunny,<br /><br />The best place is under the axle or spring seat (axle).<br /><br />If you cannot get a jack under there, try the trailer frame as close to the axle as possible.<br /><br />The same goes for the stands. You can put stands under the frame in front of and behind the axle.

Thanks Djohn,<br /><br />Anything I need to keep in mind in terms of support for the front of the trailer? Is it ok to leave the wheel on the ground or should I put blocks under the tounge before putting trailer on stands?

Sunny,<br /><br />The front wheel should be OK. Make sure to block it so that it can't move.<br /><br />Better yet, hook the rig up to your tow vehicle and set the park brake.
