Jack Stand Placement To Suspend Trailer for Storage
Question:
I have a 12foot tandem axle utility trailer and I want to store it using 4 jack stands. Where should I place the jack stands? Under the axles near the springs and use the front jack to level? - or one jack stand near each corner of the trailer?

Helpful Expert Reply:
You were on the right track. To raise the tires off the ground for long term trailer storage, the best way is to use your front jack to raise the trailer then place the jack stands under the frame by each axle on all four sides. I have attached a photo for reference.
Since the # PTW41021 are sold in pairs, you will need to purchase two for a total of four stands.
