How do you jack up the frame on XLS 22 MLE to take all 4 tires off?
I'm going to install Lippert Road Armor on my 2021 XLS MLE. What's the best way to jack up the trailer and remove the 4 tires?
On the driver side, the gas line looks like it will interfere with the placement of jack stands. How did some of you guys do it?
Where on the I Beam did you place your jack stands?Last edited by curlee01; 08-15-2022 at 02:15 PM.

I haven't done this mod yet but many members have successfully relocated the gas line just inside the I-beam. Apparently it's not to challenging and it will protect it from accidehtal puncture from road debris. Then with the use of Jack's and blocks you can lift the rig.

Although this video (guy in red shirt) is for the Dexter EZ Flex suspension upgrade, which is what I have (I had a shop do the install), it shows where to place your jacks. Start around the 5:50 mark if not interested in watching the entire thing. Also, around the 7:25 mark is good info for realignment of springs.

I jacked one side at a time using a 6 ton bottle jack at the frame, where it meets the A frame tongue. Then some 5 ton jack-stands fit in nicely. The propane hose looks close but has enough movement to be placed out of harms way. The rear was the same, found a convenient location for jack and stands on the frame. The willnpress the bottom shield but it does not damage it.
Good luck.
Not sure how the suspension you are using will go into the hangers/brackets. Have a fairly large C clamp with you to compress the hanger. They will flex when you remove the bolts.
Good luck X2Randy and Kris
