Question:

I own a 2018 Northwoods/Nash 26N TT w/Dexter E-Z Lube 4,400 lbs axles w/Nev-R adjust brakes 15 in rims and E load/80 PSI tires 33 1/2 in wheelbase, 5 ins between tires. no shocks. With this info, can you reasonably assure me that either the ANDERSON RAPID JACK or the BLAYLOCK EZ JACK will work to raise one of the wheels off the ground?

Expert Reply:

The Andersen Rapid Jack part # AM3620 and Blaylock EZ Jack and Wheel Chock part # EZ-JACK are both excellent options to help quickly and effectively change a trailer tire. I spoke with each of the respective manufacturers but neither we able to give any sort of exact criteria that must be meet to ensure the wheel will be able to be removed but it is just not that common for this not to happen. If I had to speculate, I would say that trailers with worn down suspension components may be more at risk of the above but this issue is just not common enough to really be too much of a cause for concern.

I recommend the Blaylock EZ Jack and Wheel Chock because it's made of metal therefore more durable and also doubles as a wheel chock.
