Placement of Jack Stands for Boat Trailer storage Tandem Axle Pontoon Trailer. Do you recommend placing stands under each axle two on the front + two on the back axle, or would you recommend on distributing weight more evenly? Thanx!

Helpful Expert Reply:
To lift the tires of your boat trailer off the ground for storage using a set of the 2-Ton Jack Stands # PTW41021 on each side of both your axles will work well for weight distribution, as long as you're also still using the jack on the tongue to support the tongue weight.
This is a really great option for prolonging the life of your trailer's suspension and tires while it patiently waits for boating season to begin again. I have attached a short video review and the written instructions that you can check out as well.
