Recommended Jack to Lift a Trailer to Change a Tire
Question:
Hi. I want to buy a jack I can use to lift my RPOD camper high enough to change a tire myself. I thought the scissor-style jacks would be the right kind, but your website warns against that. What kind of jack do you sell that I could use?

Trailer stabilizer jacks like # TJSCHD-24 are not designed to be used to lift a trailer and hold it up for maintenance. Their purpose is to stabilize the trailer while it's parked and no more.
What you're looking for is a jack to hold the trailer in the same fashion one would hold your car to change the tire. For this we have several options like the Performance Tool Electric Car Jack # PTW1609 which has a maximum lift of 14 inches and can support up to 4,000 pounds.
If you need an option with a higher lift we have the Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620471 that can hold up to 6,000 pounds and up to 21 inches.
