Recommended Wheel Jack For Tandem Trailer For Changing Flat Tire

Question:

If I have to change a tire on a tandem axle trailer equipped with equa-flex suspension and I raise the RV, either using a bottle jack or rapid jack, how to I keep the wheels from ping down too far, causing the brackets connected to the equa-flex to point down rather than up? Also, where are the lift points on a 5th wheel trailer?

The best way to change a wheel on your fifth wheel trailer is to use the Andersen Rapid Jack, part # AM3620.

You will pull the vehicle up on the # AM3620 so that the other wheel is about an inch off the ground. I have attached a link to a video that shows how the # AM3620 jack is used.

It is always a good idea to use jack stands like part # PTW41021 as well. Having the jack stands under the frame while you change the wheel gives you added security.
