    jacking/supporting 385th

    Well getting ready to pull wheels and check brakes and repack bearings if everything is good and adjust them, replace lug nuts, have An idea of how I am going to put all 4 corners up and support it , but was wandering if anyone had done it yet and how you did it. Even thought about just doing one wheel at a time as big as this thing is.

    When you have wheels off, check the u-bolts

    One wheel at a time, lifting just that wheel about 2".
    See post #10 on this thread http://www.mygrandrv.com/for...ht=Jack+saddle.
    No jacking on top of a pile of blocks, no twisting stress on the frame, and no stress on me, doing it .

    When my axle dislodged from the leaf springs, we used the rear 4 jacks to get the trailer off the ground. I put 8x8 blocks down first. I had my truck hooked up to the front. Doing this lifted it completely off the ground and was level the entire time.
