    New tire install. Caution.

    Having new Goodyears installed on my Imagine. Reputable tire dealer started to Jack on the axles and on both sides at once! On a sloped apron no less. Be there when tire work is done to stop such nonsense.

    Why is this nonsense? As long as they are jacking under the U-bolts, no harm no foul.

    They intended to Jack on the axles and take both sides off the ground on a slopped area. No way I’d want the trailer in the air with no tires just floor jacks under it and the trailer leaning to one side.

    As in not hooked up to the truck? That could be concerning if the surface wasn't flat.

    It was hitched but leaning heavily to one side. It would have been sitting on top of two floor jacks, both extended to their highest possible. Okay more detail. At first they intended to use four floor Jack under both axles. No! I told them Jack under the spring u bolts or the frame. They couldn’t position the jacks under the u bolts( they didn’t want to Jack one wheel at a time) so jacked the frame. They still wanted to Jack both sides so they could have two guys working on all four tires at once. I vetoed that too.

    Yeah, these guys don't sound to swift that's for sure. Sounds very sketchy.
