Can Blaylock EZ Jack be Used to Change Tire on 2017 Coachmen Freedom Express 246RKS
Question:
Hi - my 2017 Coachmen Freedom Express 246RKS is a spread tandem axle. I bought the Trailer Aid Plus from my RV dealer with a 5.5 inch lift and had to return it as it didnt even get the bad tire off the ground at all. I am not a suspension expert, but it appears each wheel on my trailer operates independently. Do you happen to know if this version will work with this trailer to get the bad tire up enough to change it? Thanks!

If the Trailer Aid Plus system didn't quite get a bad tire off of the ground for your 2017 Coachmen Freedom Express 246RKS then the Blaylock EZ Jack and Wheel Chock # EZ-JACK will probably not work since it offers about the same amount of lift and your axles are spaced further apart.
Instead I recommend using the TrailerLegs Tire Saver Stands because they are designed to lift your trailer by the axle. These come in a set of 2 # 326-TRLLG-2 as well as 4 # 326-TRLLG-4 depending on how you want to use them. If you only want to use them to change a tire then the set of 2 would be just fine, however, since these do lift your trailer off of the ground completely the 4 pack would be best for your tandem axle trailer because you can keep the tires off of the ground during the off-season to help prolong their life.
