• Can an Ultra-Fab Leveling Jack be Used to Change a Tire
  We have better options because leveling jacks like the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979006 shouldn't be used to raise a vehicle. They're only for stabilizing despite their weight capacity. Instead you want something like the Powerbuilt bottle jack, part # ALL640405. It has plenty of capacity at 4,000 pounds and is for raising a vehicle like your X5 to change a tire. It's also pretty compact and not very expensive. Another option that's a bit of a step up is an electric scissor jack like part # PTW1609....

• Replacement Tires for 2011 Jayco Jay Sport 8
  Typically when it comes to replacing a trailer tire I recommend sticking with the same size. Although I do not know the weight capacity of your current tires, we do have the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT53012C. This radial tire has a maximum load of 1,050 lbs at 80 psi with a max speed of 81 mph. It looks like your trailer has a GVWR of 1,995 lbs so these tires will handle that without any issues. Because of the tire size, it is also possible to go to a 145/80-12...

• Recommended Jack for Changing Tire on 8,200 Pound Tandem Axle Trailer
  The Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620470 referenced in your question has a weight capacity of 4,000 pounds. This is likely enough for your 8,200 pound trailer, but I recommend going up a bit with the Unijack # ALL620471 that is rated for 6,000 pounds. This will give you more of a safety margin for jacking up the trailer to change a tire. This bottle jack features a lift range of 11 to 21 inches and the safety bar locks the jack into place removing the need for jack stands. I have attached a...

• Wheel Change Jack Compatible with Triple Axle Trailer
  The Andersen Rapid Jack # AM3620 is not designed to work with triple axle trailers. If you are looking to use it for leveling, then I recommend the Andersen Camper Wheel Chock and Leveler # AM3604 for your application. The similar # EZ-JACK is also not for use on triple axle trailers. If you are looking to use for changing a tire there unfortunately isn't a drive on solution we can offer. You will need the Powerbuilt Unijack Bottle Jack with Built-In Jack Stand - 21" Lift - 6,000 lbs...

• Recommended Lifting Jack To Carry With a Utility Trailer For Changing Flat Tires
  I am going to recommend the Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620470 for carrying with your utility trailer as the Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jack # UF48-979032 is only designed to stabilize a trailer and is not to be used to lift the trailer axle off the ground. The Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620470 uses a hydraulic jack with a built in jack stand that will make it safer to use while you are changing the tire. It has a weight capacity of 4,000lbs, which is likely more than your 8' utility trailer is...

• What is the Correct Way to Jack Up a Boat Trailer to Change a Tire
  It is not recommend to jack up a trailer by the axle. This may cause damage to the axle itself. It also puts too much stress on the leaf springs. Instead, you will want to place the jack under part of the trailer frame preferably next to the leaf spring hangers. This will give you more room to use a jack like the Powerbuilt Unijack part # ALL620470 which has a 4,000 lb capacity and offer up to an 18-3/8" lift. The jack also has a built in stand for safety as most jacks are not designed...

• Can Boat Trailer Be Jacked Up To Change Flat Tire While Still Hooked Up To Truck?

• Recommended Roadside Jack For Malone MicroSport Trailer
  I recommend the Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620470 as this jack will easily slide underneath the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR. It also has a safety bar that will lock in place unlike other hydraulic jacks that mechanically prevents it from lowering while you are working on the trailer. This will lift up to 4,000lbs between 8-5/8" and 18-3/8" high. The Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack # FXP10 would require you to bolt it to the trailer frame and the hardware included may...

This jack has a 4000 lbs weight capacity and includes a safety bar that locks the jack into place.

• Can 4,000 lb PowerBuilt Unijack be Used with 5,000 lb Trailer

• Can the Powerbuilt Unijack Be Stored On Its Side
  The Powerbuilt Unijack part # ALL620470 will need to be stored in an upright position like most bottle jacks so that it does not leak and so that air pockets cannot form inside. That said, the above only offers 18-3/8" of lift so you might need to use the Powerbuilt Unijack Bottle Jack with Built-In Jack Stand part # ALL620471 instead as this offers up to 21" of lift. The best way to store either of these would be in a truck bed toolbox like the DeeZee Red Label Truck Bed Toolbox part # DZ8546B.

• Jack for Tire Replacement on Lifted Jeep
  Our scissor jacks should not be used to lift a car to replace a spare tire as they were not designed for that application.

• Can Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Be Used to Lift Trailer to Change Suspension Parts
  The Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC358590 is designed to help support/stabilize a trailer, but it isn't meant to completely support the weight of the trailer so we'll need to use some other forms of support so you can install the Lippert AP Kit # LC52SV. If you don't already have jacks or jack stands designed to hold the weight of your trailer then I recommend checking out the Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620470 which combines the power of a jack and the safety of a jack stand and is rated...

• Powerbuilt Unijack Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  According to my research your 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a curb weight over 4,000 lbs so you'll want to use the 6,000 lb Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620471 for your application. Even if you're only a few pounds over the weight capacity of the 4,000 lb jack # ALL620470 you asked about, jacks like these are designed to protect you when you're under the vehicle so if you use a jack that is being overloaded the jack could fail with someone under the vehicle. Attached is a review video for you...
