Jack points?

[Overtaxed]

OK, this is a stupid question. But I can't seem to find it anywhere, so, here goes. Where are you supposed to jack the trailer from? I know "not the axles", I've seen that's a no-no. And, of course, I could use the level up to get the wheels off the ground, but, again, been told that's a no-no too. So, what's the "yes-yes"? Where are you supposed to jack this thing from? Momentum 351M, if that matters.

Depends what you are jacking it for. Under the axle between the u-bolts is fine, even the LCI techs use that method. I've done that for individual wheels. I've also lifted the entire camper off the ground with the hydraulic jacks and then lowered the camper onto 10T jack stands when I replaced all my leaf springs and equalizers.

Well, that's interesting, I thought that the axle was just a "NO". Good to know.

Where did you put the jack stands? That's really my question, where can I jack on the frame (or support a suspended frame) safely?

I put short ones upfront on the frame rails by the front jacks, and tall ones (28") on the frame rails just aft of the rear axles. I lowered the camper on the jack stands, but not enough to raise the leveling system jacks off the ground. I made my suspension swap a 2 day project while we were living in the camper. Couldn't tell any difference as far as the stability while on the stands.

I've done the jack under axle u-bolts for my wheel bearing clean and inspects.

I think Manual and many members here say only use frame...but I have actually seen that result in flipped shackles/equalizers. I always use the u-bolt part of the axles with no problem.
