Can the Scissor Jack part # UF48-979002 Lift Trailer Enough to Level Trailer

Question

Question:

Do you use this jack to actually level the trailer, or do you need to use a real jack to lift the trailer and then put these under the frame to hold it level? I dont mean jack it all the way off the ground, just raise or lower it enough to level..

You would want to use the Scissor Jack part # UF48-979002 to level the trailer and would not need to also use a separate jack to do the lifting. These scissor jacks would operate similarly to jacks that come with vehicles for changing the spare.

That being said you would not want to use these to lift the wheels in the air.
