Going with a bottle jack like the Powerbuilt Unijack Bottle Jack with Built-In Jack Stand # ALL620471 would be what I would recommend. Since it doubles as a jack stand it gives you the ability to jack up the trailer and safely hold it at the height you want when changing the tire.

The Powerbuilt Unijack part #ALL620470 will need to be stored in an upright position like most bottle jacks so that it does not leak and so that air pockets cannot form inside. That said, the above only offers 18-3/8" of lift so you might need…
