We have a couple of options that you might like. First, you could use what is called a farm jack, # RP7033400. This is a stand alone jack meaning it does not get attached to the trailer. But farm jacks have many uses and will work well to help lift the trailer to change a tire. They're especially great on uneven terrain compared to other jacks.

A similar device that is more compact is a bottle jack, # ALL640405. This jack is easier to store since it is smaller than a farm jack but is still very versatile.

And for a bonus third option, if the trailer has 2 axles, is the Anderson Rapid jack # AM3620. With this device you pull the good tire up onto the jack to change out the bad tire.

Scissor jacks such as # LC285332 are not meant to lift up the trailer, just provide stabilizing to minimize rocking when the trailer is parked.
